Granite Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is situated in the boreal forest in the Churchill River Upland ecozone of Canada. Granite Lake is along the course of the Wildnest River, which drains the much larger Wildnest Lake west into the Sturgeon-Weir River. The Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.
Granite Lake is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of Creighton. While there is a provincial campground at the lake, there are no communities along its shore. Access is from Highway 106.
