Armit Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.[2] The lake is about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north-northwest of Swan River, Manitoba, 62 kilometres (39 mi) east-southeast of Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, and is situated in the Porcupine Hills[3] of the Manitoba Escarpment. Most of the lake is in Manitoba with only the very western end across the border into Saskatchewan. With no public roads going to the lake, it is notoriously difficult to get to.
