Etomami Lake[1][2] is a bifurcation lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is in a glacier-carved valley in the Porcupine Hills within the Rural Municipality of Preeceville No. 334. It is the headwaters for both the Etomami River and the Lilian River. Henry Kelsey of the Hudson's Bay Company travelled past the lake in 1691 where he portaged from one river system to the other. Etomami is Cree for "where 3 rivers join" which is in reference to where three rivers — Etomami, Red Deer, and Fir — meet.[3]
Description
[edit]Etomami Lake is a small, narrow lake with an area of 48 hectares (120 acres)[4] and a shoreline of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi).[5] The lake sits in a glacial spillway in the Porcupine Hills of east-central Saskatchewan and has two outflows. The Etomami River flows out of the north end of the lake where it meets the Red Deer River near the town of Hudson Bay. The Lilian River flows out from the southern end of the lake and meets the Assiniboine River at Sturgis. Both rivers are within the Nelson River watershed.
In 1691, Hudson's Bay Company fur trader and explorer Henry Kelsey travelled up the Etomami River to Etomami Lake where he crossed the portage to Lilian River.[6]

Lilian River[1] is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins at Lilian Lake[2] in the Porcupine Hills and flows south to join to the Assiniboine River at the town of Sturgis. Lilian Lake is connected to the bifurcating Etomami Lake via a natural swampy portage making Etomami Lake the headwaters for both the north flowing Etomami River and the south flowing Lilian River. For most of the river's length, it is followed by the Canadian National Railway (CNR) and Highway 9. Several small communities and parks are situated on or near the river's banks.
History
[edit]In 1691, Hudson's Bay Company fur trader and explorer Henry Kelsey traversed the natural portage between the Etomami and Lilian Rivers while in search of a route to the aspen parkland region. He had travelled south up the Etomami River from the Red Deer River to Etomami Lake where he crossed over to the Lilian River system. The Lilian River led him to the Assiniboine River. He was following a trail known to be used by the local Indigenous peoples.[3]
Description
[edit]Lilian River begins at the southern end of Lilian Lake and flows south out of the Porcupine Hills. Lilian Lake, at 47 hectares (120 acres), is a small lake with the hamlet of Usherville[4] on its western shore. Heading south, alongside the CN Railway, the river runs by Endeavour, Hinchliffe, the Lady Lake section of Sturgis & Lady Lake Regional Park, and Lady Lake. Highway 9 parallels the river from its source to Lady Lake, at which point the highway crosses the river. The railway crosses the river south of Endeavour.[5] Lilian River continues southward towards Sturgis where it once again gets crossed by the railway and Highway 9 before joining the Assiniboine River[6] in the Sturgis section of the Sturgis & Lady Lake Regional Park.
Fish species
[edit]Fish commonly found in Lilian River include northern pike.[7]
