Granite Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is situated in the boreal forest in the Churchill River Upland ecozone of Canada.[2] Granite Lake is along the course of the Wildnest River,[3] which drains the much larger Wildnest Lake west into the Sturgeon-Weir River. The Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.[4][5]

Granite Lake is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of Creighton. While there is a provincial campground at the lake, there are no communities along its shore. Access is from Highway 106.[6][7][8]
