The MacLennan River is a scenic boreal river flowing through the heart of Saskatchewan, Canada. Originating at MacLennan Lake in the Thunder Hills of the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, the river winds generally southeast through a section of Prince Albert National Park before emptying into Montreal Lake. It sits within the Churchill River drainage basin and is part of the Mid-Boreal Upland ecozone — a landscape defined by dense boreal forest, wetlands, and the rugged character of Canada's northern interior. This is a remote, wild fishery that rewards anglers willing to explore its banks and pools.

The MacLennan River Recreation Site at the Highway 2 crossing is the focal point for angling on this river. The bridge crossing and the pools and runs immediately upstream and downstream of it concentrate both fish and fishing pressure. The confluence area where the MacLennan River meets Montreal Lake at its mouth is another productive zone, as walleye and pike often stage near river mouths, particularly during spring and fall movements.
