Bearskin Lake is a lake in the municipality of Greenstone, Thunder Bay District in northwestern Ontario, Canada. [2] It is in the Great Lakes Basin and lies in the geographic townships of Irwin [3] and Walters.

A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
