Deschambault Lake[2] /dəˈʃæmb/ is a freshwater lake in the north-eastern region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The identically-named community of Deschambault Lake resides on its shore. There are also four Indian reserves on the lake — Kimosom Pwatinahk 203, Mistik Reserve, Pisiwiminiwatim 207, and Muskwaminiwatim 225 — and a provincial recreation site.[3]

Access to Deschambault Lake and its amenities is from Highways 106 and 911.[4]
