Black Bear Island Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a large, irregularly shaped lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian Shield. There are no communities along its shores and there is no road access. The lake is about east-northeast from the village of Pinehouse. Towards the western end of the lake, near High Rock Narrows, there are Indigenous pictographs.
Much of the Churchill River, which flows west to east, is a series of interconnected lakes referred to as the Churchill River System. Black Bear Island Lake's inflow is from the adjoining Kinosaskaw Lake while its outflow is into Trout Lake. The outflow is marked by Birch Falls and Birch Portage.
