Whiteswan Lakes[1] are a group of lakes in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lakes are in the boreal forest ecozone west of the Cub Hills.[2] At the southern end of the lakes, on Whelan Bay, is a provincial recreation site and a resort with lodging, camping, and recreational access to the lakes.[3]

The Whiteswan Lakes are in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and are central to three nearby provincial parks: Narrow Hills Provincial Park to the east, Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park to the north, and Candle Lake Provincial Park to the south. Access to the lakes is from Saskatchewan Highway 913.[4]
