Waterhen Lake is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the city of Meadow Lake. The lake is situated along the course of the Waterhen River in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada.
At just over 10,000 ha (25,000 acres) in size, it is the second largest lake at least partially within Meadow Lake Provincial Park — the largest being Cold Lake at the far western end of the park.
Waterhen Indian Reserve No. 130, the reserve community of the Waterhen Lake First Nation, surrounds most of the eastern portion of the lake and the western half of the lake and the far eastern shore are in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Highways 904, 941, and 951 provide access to the lake.
