Eyebrow Lake[1] is a man-made marshy lake that parallels the Qu'Appelle River in the southern region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Located in the RM of Huron No. 223, it is the first lake in a series of lakes along the Qu'Appelle River after Qu'Appelle River Dam and Lake Diefenbaker. The next lake downstream is Buffalo Pound Lake.[2] The closest community is the village of Tugaske and, while there are no public recreation sites at the lake, it can be accessed by Highway 627. The lake gets its name from the nearby Eyebrow Hills,[3] which are shaped like an eyebrow. The nearby town of Eyebrow and RM of Eyebrow No. 193 are also named after these hills.[4]
The entire lake and much of the surrounding landscape is an Important Bird Area of Canada while the lower half is part of the provincial Nisku Wildlife Refuge (50°56′00″N 106°10′02″W / 50.9334°N 106.1673°W).[5]
