Jan Lake[1] is a lake in the Northern Administration District of the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. It is situated in the boreal forest of Canada. Several small lakes and rivers flow into Jan Lake while its outflow is at its west end through a glacier-carved channel into Pelican Lake. The lake is within the Sturgeon-Weir River drainage basin. The Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.[2] [3] [4]
