Shell River,[1] formerly Shell Brook,[2] is a river in the north-central region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins at Big Shell Lake and travels in an easterly direction and flows into the Sturgeon River north of the city of Prince Albert. The upper reaches of its watershed are as far west as the Thickwood Hills.[3]
