Scentgrass Lake is a medium-sized lake in southern Saskatchewan, situated approximately 23 to 24 kilometers north-northeast of North Battleford. The lake covers a surface area of roughly 1,353 acres with a shoreline of about 10 kilometers. Its coordinates place it near the communities of Iffley and Moore Lake, east of Highway 4, within the rural municipalities of Round Hill No. 467, Meota No. 468, and North Battleford No. 437.

A significant portion of the lake falls within the Scent Grass Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary and the Scent Grass Lake Game Preserve. The sanctuary was established on November 3, 1948, and is recognized as an important refuge for waterfowl as well as other marsh and water birds. Paddlers should be aware that the sanctuary designation may carry restrictions on activity within its boundaries, and the presence of a game preserve adds another layer of land-use regulation to consider before launching.

Access to the area is provided by three public roads, though some of the surrounding land is privately owned. Private landowners may restrict access, so paddlers should confirm land access before attempting to reach the shoreline. No public boat launches or marinas are known for this lake, which may complicate put-in and take-out logistics. The lake is situated near the Moosomin and Thunderchild Indian Reserves, and paddlers should be respectful of reserve boundaries and any associated access considerations.

Scentgrass Lake falls within Saskatchewan's southern fishing zone. No fish species have been formally documented for the lake, and no bathymetric depth charts exist for it, meaning water depth profiles are unknown. The combination of sanctuary status, absence of formal launch infrastructure, and privately held surrounding land makes this a lake that requires careful advance planning regarding legal access and on-water conduct before any paddling trip is undertaken.
