Muscowpetung 80 is an Indian reserve of the Muscowpetung First Nation in Saskatchewan.[1][4] It is 31 kilometres (19 mi) west of Fort Qu'Appelle along the south-west shore of Pasqua Lake, which is one of four Fishing Lakes. In the 2016 Canadian Census, it recorded a population of 275 living in 87 of its 112 total private dwellings.[2] In the same year, its Community Well-Being index was calculated at 54 of 100, compared to 58.4 for the average First Nations community and 77.5 for the average non-Indigenous community.[3]

Lake Muscowpetung, which is a small lake on the Muscowpetung Indian Reserve along the Qu'Appelle River, is sometimes referred to as one of the Fishing Lakes. It is located just west of Pasqua Lake.
