Dipper Lake is a large lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. [1] The Churchill River is largely a series of interconnected lakes that begins at Churchill Lake in north-western Saskatchewan and empties into the Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba. Upstream from Dipper Lake along the Churchill River is Shagwenaw Lake and downstream is Primeau Lake. [2] The lake is about 65 kilometres (40 mi) north-west of the community of Pinehouse and is surrounded by boreal forest in the Canadian Shield. [3]
