Round Lake[1] is the last part of a chain of eutrophic prairie lakes connected by the Qu'Appelle River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lakes were formed by glaciation about 10,000 years ago.

The lake harbours recreational activities including camping, boating, and fishing. Cabins can be rented or bought along the shores of the lake. Camping is provided at Bird's Point Resort[2] and West End.[3] Other camps include Camp O'Neill[4] and Camp McKay.[5] Access to the lake is provided by Highway 247. Crooked Lake Provincial Park and Crooked Lake are 20 kilometres (12 mi) west. A scenic viewpoint, located north of the lake and highway, provides a view of the lake.
