East Trout Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is directly north of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park in Saskatchewan's Northern Administration District. It is a long and narrow lake that runs in an east–west direction and is surrounded by boreal forest, rolling hills, and muskeg. 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. 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.
From 26-28 May 2025, the Shoe Fire swept through the region. It destroyed most of the community at the lake, including the wooden bridge used to access the townsite.
