Lac la Ronge is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is the fifth largest lake in the province and is approximately 250 kilometres north of Prince Albert, on the edge of the Canadian Shield. La Ronge, Air Ronge, and the Lac La Ronge First Nation are on the western shore.

One of the largest parks in the province, Lac La Ronge Provincial Park is a nature-lover’s dream. Nestled in the heart of the Churchill River system, this park has close to 100 lakes and more than 30 documented canoe routes, many of which follow old fur trade routes. Visitors flock to the park for the exceptional fishing opportunities and the beautiful, private campgrounds as well as other amenities including boat launches, hiking and cross-country skiing trails, service centres and the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the oldest standing building in the province.
