Nistowiak Lake is a lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The Churchill River is largely a series of interconnected lakes that begins at Churchill Lake in north-western Saskatchewan and empties into the Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba. Upstream from Nistowiak Lake is Drope Lake and downstream is Drinking Lake. The lake is partially within Lac La Ronge Provincial Park about 71 kilometres (44 mi) east-northeast of the community of La Ronge and is surrounded by boreal forest in the Canadian Shield. There are two outfitters and an Indian reserve along the lake's shore.
