Hatchet Lake ^[1] is a remote lake in the north-eastern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is north of Wollaston Lake along the course of the Fond du Lac River. The Fond du Lac River flows from Wollaston Lake through Hatchet Lake north-west to Black Lake and Lake Athabasca. ^[2]

In 1963, the Hatchet Lake Lodge was constructed on Sandy Island, one of the islands near the eastern shore of Hatchet Lake. ^[4] Hatchet Lake Lodge is a fly-in fishing lodge.
