SettlementsMeadow Lake

Meadow Lake[1] is a small, shallow, oval-shaped lake that is the source of Meadow River and the namesake of Meadow Lake Provincial Park, despite not being within the park's boundaries. The lake is in the transition zone between the boreal forest[2] and prairies[3] ecozones of Canada.

Meadow Lake is situated in the Rural Municipality of Meadow Lake No. 588 with the city of Meadow Lake located along the western shore and Flying Dust First Nation located along the north-west shore, adjacent to the city. Highway 55 runs along the northern shore and Highway 799, the southern shore. Highway 4 is west of the lake and provides access to the city.
