Lac la Ronge, Glacial lake in northern Saskatchewan, Canada

Lac la Ronge spans 1,413 square kilometers with an average depth of 14.6 meters and contains 1,305 islands throughout its complex shoreline.

A trading post established in 1782 by Swiss trader Jean-Étienne Waddens marked the early European presence at Lac la Ronge during the fur trade period.

The name derives from French 'ronger', referring to beavers gnawing trees along the shoreline, as observed by early fur traders in the region.

The lake provides year-round recreational activities with multiple access points, boat launches, and camping facilities around its western shore.

The water system includes five major river inflows: Montreal, Bow, Nemeiben, Nipekamew, and Meeyomoot, which contribute to its substantial water volume.
