Sturgeon Lake[1] is lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a small, narrow body of water situated in the transition zone between the aspen parkland and boreal forest biomes. It is located along the course of Sturgeon River, which has its headwaters in Prince Albert National Park and the Waskesiu Hills. The Sturgeon River is a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River. A small dam at the eastern end of the lake helps regulate water levels.[2]
Sturgeon Lake is about 48 kilometres (30 mi) north-west of the city of Prince Albert. The lake is surrounded by the Sturgeon Lake 101 Indian reserve and the RM of Shellbrook No. 493. Access to Sturgeon Lake is from Highways 788 and 693.[3]
