Lower Fishing Lake is a lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It is situated in the Cub Hills and the boreal forest ecozone of Canada. The lake is accessed from Highway 920, which connects to Hanson Lake Road and Highway 120. The Fishing Lakes Fire of 1977 burned much of the region upstream and around the lake and now the area is now dominated by jack pine, which is a tree species that is well adapted fire burned forests.

At the southern end of the lake, Stewart Creek flows out and heads south where it meets up with the east flowing Torch River. Torch River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
