Woody Lake is the source of Woody River. 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.[5]
