Turtle Lake lies in the North-West of Saskatchewan, Canada and is fairly long (about 21 km) while also narrow (about 5 km across). The closest town is Livelong, and the closest cities are North Battleford, SK, and Lloydminster, AB. The lake takes its name from a Cree legend about a giant denizen in the lake, and locals sometimes still tell stories of a monster of some sort in its waters (see Turtle Lake Monster).

Turtle Lake's primary outlet is the Turtle River, which flows south into the North Saskatchewan River near the Michaud Islands, across the river from Delmas, Saskatchewan.

Turtle Lake has several species of fish, including Sturgeon, Northern Pike (Jackfish), Walleye (Pickerel) and Whitefish.
