Greenwater Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is at the heart of Greenwater Lake Provincial Park[2] in the Porcupine Provincial Forest on the Porcupine Hills. The RM of Bjorkdale No. 426 surrounds the lake and Highway 38 provides access to it. The lake is so named not because of the colour of the water but rather the colour of the trees reflecting off the water.
