Also on the western shore is the Weyakwin River, which flows from Weyakwin Lake, and MacLennan River, which flows from the south side of the Thunder Hills. One of MacLennan River's tributaries, the Crean River, flows in from Crean Lake. At the southern tip of the lake, Bittern River flows in from Bittern Lake. Montreal River flows out of Montreal Lake at O'Connor Bay[6] at the north end. Montreal River heads northward and flows into Lac la Ronge
.
