Versailles Lake[2] is one of a maze of lakes in north-western Saskatchewan. It is bordered by many lakes, including Minuhik Lake. It has several deep holes. The deepest recorded depth is 55 metres (180 ft).[3][4]
Versailles Lake is named after The Treaty of Versailles which ended the First World War.[citation needed]
The climate is the same as most of Northern Saskatchewan. It has hot days in the summer and cold in the winter. Mild to severe thunderstorms happen every few days.[citation needed]
There is an abundance of northern pike, lake trout, and several species of bottom feeders.
