Opuntia Lake[1] is a shallow, man-made salt lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It was formed with the construction of the Opuntia Control along Eagle Creek in 1946.[2] The lake is in the Mixed Moist Grassland ecoregion of the Great Plains[3] and the entire lake is part of the Opuntia Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary (MBS).[4] The nearest community is Plenty and there are no public facilities at the lake.[5] The nearest highway is Highway 31.[6] The town of Biggar is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) to the north-east.

Opuntia Lake MBS

Opuntia Lake MBS is a migratory bird sanctuary that encompasses all of Opuntia Lake and covers an area of 13.91 km2 (5.37 sq mi). It was founded in 1952 and is an important stop-over for migratory birds as it is "strategically positioned along a major flyway for geese and other waterfowl". Birds commonly found at the MBS include the Canada goose, white-fronted goose, snow goose, Ross's gull, mallard, northern pintail, sandhill crane, and the tundra swan.[7][8][9]

Opuntia Lake Control (51°45′43″N 108°32′47″W / 51.7619°N 108.5464°W / 51.7619; -108.5464) is a dam built in 1946 along the course of Eagle Creek. It created Opuntia Lake, which is a reservoir with a volume of 18,919 dam3 (668,100,000 cu ft) and is operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. The dam measures 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in) high.[10]
