Fredette Lake[1] is a remote northern lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[2] It is along the course of Fredette River,[3] about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) north-east of Uranium City. Uranium City sits at the mouth of Fredette River on Martin Lake. Fredette Lake has several islands, the largest of which is Dewar Island.[4][5] Dewar Island is named after Francis Irving Dewar.
Since all of the northern mining operations are downstream of Fredette Lake, it is commonly used as a reference site to determine normal background levels when studying other surrounding areas near Uranium City.[6]
