Lady Lake is a lake in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. It is a natural, spring-fed lake in the Rural Municipality of Preeceville No. 334. The lake is south of the Porcupine Hills and Porcupine Provincial Forest in the Boreal Transition ecozone. Along the lake's western shore is the Lady Lake section of Sturgis & District — Lady Lake Regional Park. To the east of the lake is the Lilian River and the community of Lady Lake. The closest town is Preeceville, which is about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) by road to the south. Access to the lake and its amenities is from Highway 9.
At about 35 hectares (86 acres) and less than 6 metres (20 ft) deep, it is a small lake that has been used for recreation since before the formation of the regional park in 1967. The park was born out of 20 acres of land donated by the Gogal family from their original homestead. There is also a First Nations legend regarding the lake "which stems from a story of an Indian maiden who drowned herself rather than marry a man she did not love, who was chosen by her Chieftain father".
