Whitehills Lake is a remote lake situated in Nunavut, Canada, at coordinates 64°35′2.4″N, 96°00′1.4″W. Located approximately 17.7 miles from Baker Lake and 169.3 miles from Rankin Inlet, this lake sits within the vast subarctic landscape of the Kivalliq region. The surrounding area is characterized by the rugged, open terrain typical of the Canadian Shield and Barrenlands, where cold, clear waters support cold-water species well adapted to the harsh northern climate. Whitehills Lake is part of a broader network of productive fishing waters in the region, including nearby Thelon River, Meliadine Lake, and Baker Lake, all of which are known for supporting strong populations of cold-water fish species.
