Lac la Plonge[2] is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the basin of the Beaver River, near Lac Île-à-la-Crosse. It is located in the boreal forest near the Canadian Shield. On the lake's northern shore, the community of Lac La Plonge, a resort, and campgrounds are accessed via Highway 165.[3]
The Rivière la Plonge,[4] Lac la Plonge's outflow, flows west from the north-west section of the lake into Beaver River at Beauval.[5] The lake's outflow is the site of the Lac La Plonge Dam, which is operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.[6]
