Tehek Lake

Tehek Lake lies north of Baker Lake in a country of tundra and waterways draining towards Chesterfield Inlet. Its eastern end joins the Tehek River, while lake trout and whitefish inhabit its waters. The lake belongs to the wider inland hunting country of the Caribou Inuit. For centuries the lands around the nearby Thelon River were used seasonally by hunters who followed caribou across the barrens and fished the northern lakes and rivers.
