Woody Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the east-central part of the province in the Porcupine Hills and Porcupine Provincial Forest. The entire lake is in the Woody River Block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park.[2] Highway 980 provides access to the lake.[3][4]
Woody Lake is the source of Woody River. The lake's outflow is controlled by the 2.6-metre (8 ft 6 in) Woody Lake Weir. The weir was built in 1978 and then upgraded in 1998. It is owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.[5] Woody River is a river that flows south then east into neighbouring Manitoba and Swan Lake. The main inflow for Woody Lake is a short River that flows south from Elbow Lake, which is fed by Midnight Creek. On the western end of Woody Lake, another short river flows into it from neighbouring Townsend Lake.[6]
