Etomami Lake[1][2] is a bifurcating lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is in a glacier-carved valley in the Porcupine Hills within the Rural Municipality of Preeceville No. 334. It is the headwaters for both the Etomami and the Lilian Rivers. Henry Kelsey of the Hudson's Bay Company travelled past the lake in 1691 when he went from the Etomami River system to the Lilian.
Etomami is Cree for "where 3 rivers join" which is in reference to where the three rivers of Etomami, Red Deer, and Fir meet near the town of Hudson Bay.[3]
