Decker Lake is a lake in the Bulkley River drainage of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It lies immediately northwest of the community of Burns Lake.[1] Its eastern shore is traversed by British Columbia provincial highway 16, where the community of Decker Lake is located.[2] It is fed by Decker Creek, which enters the lake to the southeast of that community.[3]
The lake was officially given its name in honour of Stephen Decker, who was a foreman with the Collins Overland Telegraph.[4]
