Little Kenosee Lake[1] is a small lake in Moose Mountain Provincial Park in the Moose Mountain Uplands of the south-eastern corner of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is in the Palliser's Triangle[2] and Prairie Pothole Region of Canada. It is part of an endorheic basin lake system that flows into Kenosee Lake, which has only overflowed its banks once since records started being kept in the late 1800s.[3] Most of the water that flows into Little Kenosee Lake comes from ground water run-off, such as from rain and melting snow. Fish Creek, the lake's outflow, is located on the southern shore. The lake and its facilities are accessed from Highway 219.
