Kazan Lake[2] is a lake about south of the village of Buffalo Narrows in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is surrounded by muskeg and boreal forest,[3] with black spruce being the most common tree. Several small streams feed into the lake while its outflow is the Kazan River,[4] which leaves the lake at the north end and flows north for about before emptying into Peter Pond Lake. Peter Pond Lake is along the course of the Churchill River.[5]
Situated in Crown land, the entirety of Kazan Lake is within an Important Bird Area of Canada. Near the north end of the lake is the three-hectare Gatehouse Island Wildlife Refuge .[6] [7] There are no communities on the lake and Highway 155 is the nearest highway.
The Kazan Lake (SK 110) Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada encompasses of the lake and surrounding shoreline. The IBA is important habitat for American white pelicans and double-crested cormorants. Other birds found there include the great blue heron and the osprey.[8] [9]
