Tazin Lake

North of Lake Athabasca lies Tazin Lake, a long expanse of water among the rocky lakes of the Canadian Shield. Its irregular shores enclose a basin fed by the Tazin River and other streams. From the lake's western end, the river continues towards the Taltson and Great Slave Lake, descending through a country of rapids and falls. The lake's name comes from the Dëne Sųłıné language, recalling the people whose homeland encompasses this northern lake country.
