It is south-east of Emma Lake and Great Blue Heron Provincial Park in the central part of the province in the District of Lakeland No. 521.[2] Access to Christopher Lake is from Highways 953 and 263 and it is about 42 kilometres (26 mi) north of the city of Prince Albert.[3]

The community of Bell's Beach is along the south-east corner of the lake and Clearsand Beach is along the western shore. The village of Christopher Lake is about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the south-eastern corner of the lake and Bell's Beach.
