Churchill Lake is shown as Clear Lake with its northern reaches still unknown. Also not yet surveyed are the waters of Wasekamio Lake, Turnor Lake then Frobisher Lake that flow from the north into Churchill Lake.

Churchill Lake ist ein See in der kanadischen Provinz Saskatchewan. Der 543 km² große See (mit Inseln sind es 559 km²) befindet sich in einer sehr seenreichen Gegend im Nordwesten der Provinz und bildet den Ursprung des Churchill River.[1] Buffalo Narrows liegt am westlichen Seeufer auf einem Isthmus, der den See vom westlich gelegenen Peter Pond Lake trennt. Dort fließt ihm über den Kisis Channel das Wasser des Peter Pond Lake zu. Nordöstlich des Churchill Lake befindet sich der Frobisher Lake, welcher über den Simonds Channel zum Churchill Lake abfließt. Am südwestlichen Ende des Sees verlässt der MacBeth Channel, der dem Churchill River zugerechnet wird, den See nach Süden zum Lac Île-à-la-Crosse.- [en] Churchill Lake
