Brightsand Lake
Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada
Brightsand Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the Rural Municipality of Mervin No. 499 in the west-central part of the province in the aspen parkland ecoregion. Brightsand Creek[2]–located on the western side of the lake–is the outflow and it flows in a southerly direction into Turtlelake River, which is a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River.[3] Turtle Lake is about 9.5 kilometres (5.9 mi) to the east and the Meadow Lake Escarpment[4] is to the north-east.
There are several communities and a regional park dotted around its shores. At the southern end of the lake is Crystal Bay-Sunset and Thunderchild Indian Reserve 115Z; along the eastern shore is Evergreen Beach, Mowrey Beach, and Lakeshore Estates subdivision; and Brightsand Lake Regional Park is at the northern end. Access to the lake is from Highways 795 and 796.
