Isbister Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the east-central part of the province along the course of Midnight Creek in the Porcupine Hills and Porcupine Provincial Forest. The lake is in the Woody River Block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park. Highway 980 provides access to the southern shore of the lake and its amenities. Isbister Lake is situated in boreal forest surrounded by hills, other small lakes, and muskeg.
The lake was named in memory of Rifleman Archie Isbister of the Regina Rifle Regiment who died on 6 June 1944 fighting in World War II. Since 1947 Saskatchewan has been naming lakes after fallen soldiers and there are now more than 4,000 such lakes in the province.
