Jayjay Lake[2] is a teardrop-shaped lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and access is from Highway 165.[3] The lake is situated at the north-eastern slopes of the Cub Hills[4] in the Mid-Boreal Uplands Ecoregion. It is surrounded by muskeg in a boreal forest of pine, birch, aspen, and spruce.[5]

Jayjay Lake is within the Sturgeon-Weir River watershed. Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River. Jayjay Creek flows out of Jayjay Lake at its north end and flows south-east into Big Sandy Lake.[6][7]
