Grand Lake is a lake just west of Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia.[1] It is crescent-shaped.[2] Its primary outflow is Little West River, which flows into the Northwest Arm of Sheet Harbour.[1] The land area of the Sheet Harbour 36 Indian reserve extends to a part of the shore of Grand Lake.[3] In 2012, the Nova Scotia Government bought 470 hectares (1,200 acres) of land near the lake worth $1.1 million.[4]
