Martin Lake is a remote northern lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan near Uranium City.
There has been extensive Uranium exploration in the area surrounding the lake.[1] These mining operations have affected the water quality in Martin Lake and its surroundings, leading to elevated levels of contaminants such as uranium and selenium in local fish populations[2]
