Pierce Lake is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. It is situated along the course of the Cold River in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada. Upstream along Cold River from Pierce Lake is Cold Lake and downstream are Lepine Lake and Lac des Îles. Pierce Lake and Cold River are in the Beaver River watershed, which is part of the Churchill River and Hudson Bay drainage basin.
