Rapid River is a river in central Saskatchewan, Canada, about 13 kilometres (8 mi) east of the community of Stanley Mission within Lac La Ronge Provincial Park. The river flows north from Lac la Ronge to Nistowiak Lake along the Churchill River via Hale Lake and Iskwatikan Lake. The Churchill River flows east to the Hudson Bay. Between Iskwatikan Lake and Nistowiak Lake, it travels over the Nistowiak Falls, one of the tallest in Saskatchewan, and the Fisher Rapids. At the mouth of the river, on Nistowiak Lake, is the Stanley 157A Indian reserve and Jim's Camp.
