Belcher Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a large, deep, and irregularly shaped lake about 71 kilometres (44 mi) north-west of Creighton in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.[2][3] The lake is situated in the boreal forest ecozone of the Canadian Shield.
Belcher Lake is within the Sturgeon-Weir River watershed, which is within the Saskatchewan River drainage basin. The lake's outflow is a short river that flows from the southern end into the northern end of Attitti Lake.[4] There are no communities on the lake and no highway access.
Fish species
