Pierce Lake[1] is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. It is situated along the course of the Cold River in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada.[2] Upstream along Cold River from Pierce Lake is Cold Lake and downstream are Lepine Lake and Lac des Îles. Pierce Lake and Cold River are in the Beaver River watershed, which is part of the Churchill River and Hudson Bay drainage basin.[3]

Highway 21 heads north up from Highway 55 to provide access to Pierce Lake near Howe Bay at the eastern end and Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Howe Bay is the location of Pierce Lake Lodge and the convergence of Highways 950 and 919. Highway 919 heads west to Cold Lake along the southern shore of Pierce Lake and 950 heads north crossing Cold River then east along Lepine Lake's northern shore en route to Lac des Îles.
