King Island (Saskatchewan)

King Island is an island located in Lake Athabasca in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It is situated in the eastern portion of the lake, near the Saskatchewan-Alberta border. Geographically, King Island is characterized by typical boreal forest vegetation common to the region. It is relatively small in size and sparsely populated, if at all. Detailed demographic information regarding permanent inhabitants is scarce. The island's remote location contributes to its relatively undisturbed natural state. It is part of the larger Athabasca Basin, known for its rich uranium deposits; however, there is no readily available information suggesting active mining operations directly on King Island itself. The primary access to King Island is via float plane or boat, given its isolation and lack of road infrastructure. It may be used for recreational activities such as fishing and boating, typical for Lake Athabasca. Further research would be required to determine specific historical significance or any specific ecological protection status.
