Fond du Lac River (Saskatchewan)

The Fond du Lac River is a river located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It flows westward from Wollaston Lake into Black Lake and ultimately into Lake Athabasca.

The river is an important waterway for the Denesuline (Chipewyan) people, who have traditionally relied on it for transportation, fishing, and other resources. The river is part of the Fond du Lac watershed, a large drainage basin in the boreal forest of northern Saskatchewan.

The river's name originates from the French phrase "fond du lac," meaning "foot of the lake," a common descriptor for rivers that flow from the end of a lake.

The Fond du Lac River is used for recreational activities such as canoeing and fishing. It supports a variety of fish species, including lake trout, northern pike, and walleye.
