Uhackatik Crater is an impact crater in Quebec, Canada, near the border with Labrador. The crater is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) in diameter. The crater contains sheets of melt rock up to 50 metres (160 ft) thick. The impact is dated to have occurred during the Devonian geological period, about 390 million years ago, based on paleomagnetic analysis and uranium-lead dating. Lake Marsal lies near the center of the crater, while the northern part of Lake Magpie lies on its western edge.
