Wollaston Lake, Glacial lake in northern Saskatchewan, Canada
Wollaston Lake spans 2,286 square kilometers with an average depth of 20.6 meters and reaches a maximum depth of 97 meters.
Samuel Hearne discovered the lake in 1770, and David Thompson documented its unusual drainage system in 1796 during his explorations.
The Hatchet Lake Dene Nation maintains their traditional way of life near the lake, with a community of over 1,200 residents at Wollaston Post.
Visitors can access the lake via Highway 905 from La Ronge or through Wollaston Lake Airport, which provides regular transportation services.
This natural wonder stands as the largest bifurcation lake worldwide, with waters flowing naturally in two separate directions through different river systems.
