Colville Lake, Remote territorial hamlet in Sahtu Region, Northwest Territories, Canada.
The settlement lies 50 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle on the banks of a lake, surrounded by black spruce forests and Arctic vegetation.
The establishment of a Roman Catholic mission in 1962 marked the beginning of organized community development in this area of traditional Hareskin Dene territory.
The Sahtu Dene people maintain their presence through the Behdzi Ahda First Nation, representing most of the 110 residents recorded in the 2021 census.
The Tommy Kochon Aerodrome connects residents to Fort Good Hope and Norman Wells, while a seasonal winter road provides ground access for approximately nine months.
The settlement incorporates solar panels for power generation and features a museum, art gallery, and fishing lodge near the site of Our Lady of the Snows mission.
