===Hydrology===
Due to it being covered almost entirely by the [[Canadian Shield]] — a vast, rocky plateau with a history of glaciation — the peninsula has a large number of lakes.

The largest body of water on the Labrador Peninsula is the [[Smallwood Reservoir]], but the largest natural lake is [[Lake Mistassini]]. Other lakes of note include the [[Manicouagan Reservoir]], the [[Caniapiscau Reservoir]], and the [[La Grande 2 Reservoir|La Grande 2]] and [[La Grande 3 Reservoir|La Grande 3]] reservoirs. Due to a history of hydroelectric development, the majority of the larger freshwater lakes on the peninsula are reservoirs. In addition to an abundance of lakes, the peninsula also has many rivers. The longest, the La Grande River, is {{convert|900|km|mi}} long and flows westwards across nearly half the peninsula. Other rivers of note include the [[Eastmain River]], [[Rupert River]], and [[Churchill River (Atlantic)|Churchill River]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}
