Chicken Lake

Chicken Lake, also known as Barrier Lake, is a large, irregularly shaped lake in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Only a very small portion of the south-eastern corner of the lake is in Manitoba. The lake is within the Nelson–Churchill River watershed, which is the third largest drainage basin in North America. Chicken Lake's primary inflow is from a channel at its southern end connecting it to Kipahigan Lake. At the northern end, the lake is connected to Sisipuk Lake through the Swan River channel. Sisipuk Lake is a lake along the course of the Churchill River. Chicken Lake Dam is situated along Swan River connecting Chicken Lake to Sisipuk Lake. The Swan River, while only about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long, has a drainage basin of about 1,800 km (690 sq mi).
Indian reserve is at the southern end of Chicken Lake. The reserve is also along the northern shores of Kipahigan Lake.
