Mistohay Lake[1] is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park[2] in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada.[3] The lake is part of the Waterhen River drainage basin. The Waterhen River is a tributary of the Beaver River, which flows north into Lac Île-à-la-Crosse and the Churchill River, a major tributary in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
Several streams feed into Mistohay Lake, including ones that drain the southern slopes of the Mostoos Hills.[4] Mistohay Creek, the lake's outflow, is located at the western end of the lake[5] and it flows south-west into the Waterhen River. Shortly after Mistohay Creek leaves Mistohay Lake, it is met by another creek that drains nearby de Balinhard Lake.[6][7]
Highway 224 runs along the southern shore of the lake and provides access to the lake and the campground.[8]
