East Trout Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is directly north of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park[2] in Saskatchewan's Northern Administration District. It is a long and narrow lake that runs in a west to east direction and is surrounded by boreal forest, rolling hills, and muskeg.[3] Several streams flow into the lake and its outflow is at the eastern end where it flows directly into neighbouring Nipekamew Lake through a short channel and bay.[4][5] The lake is part of the Churchill River watershed, which flows into the Hudson Bay.

East Trout Lake is accessed from Highway 927 at the south-east corner of the lake.

Highway 927 provides access to the park and the resorts.
