Little Sachigo Lake is a lake in Unorganized Kenora District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.^[1]^[2] It is on the Sachigo River and is part of the Hudson Bay drainage basin.

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.

Unorganized Kenora District is an unorganized area in northwestern Ontario, Canada, in Kenora District. Comprising 98.39 percent of the district's land area, yet only 10.93 percent of its population, it is essentially the remainder of the district's territory after all incorporated cities, municipalities, townships, Indian reserves, and Indian settlements have been excluded. It is by far the largest municipal-equivalent level census division in Ontario, covering over 35 percent of the entire provincial land area, yet only about 0.05 percent of the population of Ontario.

Kenora District is a district and census division in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It was created in 1907 from parts of Rainy River District. It is geographically the largest division in that province; at 407,213.01 square kilometres (157,225.82 sq mi), it comprises almost 38 percent of the province's land area, making it larger than Newfoundland and Labrador, and slightly smaller than Sweden.

The major inflow, from the south, and outflow, at the east, is the Sachigo River, which flows via the Severn River to Hudson Bay.

The closest settlement is the principal location of the Sachigo Lake First Nation, about 25 kilometres (16 mi) south and upstream on the Sachigo River.

Sachigo Lake First Nation is an Oji-Cree First Nation band government in Unorganized Kenora District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

As of September 2011, the First Nation had a registered population of 814 people, of which the on-reserve population was 443.
