Waterhen Lake[1] is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the city of Meadow Lake.[2][3] The lake is situated along the course of the Waterhen River in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada.[4]
At just over 10,000 ha (25,000 acres) in size, it is the second largest lake at least partially within Meadow Lake Provincial Park — the largest being Cold Lake at the far western end of the park.[5]
Waterhen Indian Reserve No. 130, the reserve community of the Waterhen Lake First Nation, surrounds most of the eastern portion of the lake[6] and the western half of the lake and the far eastern shore are in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Highways 904, 941, and 951 provide access to the lake.
