Lake Beechey (sometimes Beechey Lake) is a lake in the Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is a long, narrow, lake-expansion of the Back River. It is part of the western Canadian Precambrian Shield. It contains a few unnamed islands.
Historically, Lake Beechey was the southernmost territory of Copper Inuit.[1]
The first European to explore the lake was George Back[2] and named by Sir John Franklin in honour of Frederick William Beechey.[3][4]
