Little Bear Lake

Little Bear Lake is a lake in the boreal forest ecozone in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is in a hilly plateau called Cub Hills and the landforms, such as the lakes and streams, of the Cub Hills were formed over 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. Little Bear Lake is accessed from the Hanson Lake Road, which runs along the eastern side of the lake, and by a small airport called Little Bear Lake Airport.

Little Bear Lake is a lake in a glacier formed valley that runs diagonally from the south-west to the north-east. A large portion of the northern end of the lake is called Clark Bay. The lake is fed by several small creeks and rivers along its length. At the southern end, a creek from Divide Lake flows into the lake at Little Bear Lake Resort. Divide Lake is a small bifurcation lake in Narrow Hills Provincial Park that the north flowing outlet goes to Little Bear Lake and the larger south flowing outlet is the source of McDougal Creek.

The outflow for Little Bear Lake is at the north end of Clark Bay, where a short river flows out and into Heart Lake. The outflow for Heart Lake continues north and meets up with the east flowing Bear River, which in turn flows into the Ballantyne River, an inflow for Deschambault Lake.
