About
Jackfish Lake is a large, shallow lake in central Saskatchewan, Canada. It is about 48 kilometres (30 mi) south of the village of Edam in the Rural Municipality of Meota No. 468. There are several communities and two parks along the lake's shores. Access to the lake and its amenities is from Highways 4, 26, 697, 674, 769, and 204.
Jackfish River, located at the lake's southern end, is the primary outflow. The river exits at the south end of the lake through a control structure that was built in 1966 that regulates Jackfish Lake's levels. From the control structure, the river flows south into the North Saskatchewan River about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) upstream from The Battlefords. Charette Creek, Jackfish Creek, and Lehman Creek from Murray Lake at Cochin are its main inflows.
