Cabri Lake[2] is an endorheic, salt lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the south-west region of the province near the border with Alberta in the Rural Municipality of Chesterfield No. 261.[3] Cabri Lake is in the semi-arid Palliser's Triangle and can completely dry up during drought years.
Cabri Lake is within the Mantario Hills (SK 047) Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada, which is a significant staging area for Canadian geese and nesting area for the ferruginous hawk.[4]
