Smoothstone Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan along the course of the Smoothstone River. The lake is at the western edge of the Waskesiu Upland in the Mid-Boreal Upland ecozone of Canada and is surrounded by boreal forests.[2] Smoothstone Lake's primary inflow and outflow is the Smoothstone River,[3] which begins in the Waskesiu Upland and ends at Pinehouse Lake of the Churchill River. At the lake's northern end is Selenite Point, Selenite Bay, and the 362.2-hectare (895-acre) Shelter Island.[4] Access to the lake and its amenities is from Highway 917.[5][6] Highway 929 dead ends near Selenite Bay at the lake's northern end.
