Lake St. Martin is a lake in the Interlake region of Manitoba, Canada. The lake is situated between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg. Lake St. Martin is downstream from the Fairford River with its Fairford River Control Structure. The Fairford River is the only outlet for Lake Manitoba. With the artificially increased flow and limited outflow, Lake St. Martin was turned into a reservoir. The outflow for Lake St. Martin exits through Dauphin River and into Lake Winnipeg, at a lower rate than the water comes in.[1][2][3]
Settlements on the lake, including the Lake St. Martin First Nation, were flooded and made uninhabitable after the 2011 Assiniboine River flood.[4][5]
