Granite Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is situated in the boreal forest in the Churchill River Upland ecozone of Canada.[2] Granite Lake is along the course of the Wildnest River,[3] which drains the much larger Wildnest Lake west into the Sturgeon-Weir River. The Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.[4] [5]
Granite Lake is about west of Creighton. While there is a provincial campground at the lake, there are no communities along its shore. Access is from Highway 106.[6] [7] [8]
Granite Lake Recreation Site [9] is a provincial campground on the southern shore of Granite Lake. The park, which is situated in a "natural forest setting", has six rustic campsites, a boat launch, wildlife viewing opportunities, and a picnic area. The boat launch provides access to the lake for fishing, boating, and other water sports.[10] [11]
