Lake Beechey (sometimes Beechey Lake) is an uninhabited lake in Kitikmeot, 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 un-named islands.
Historically, Lake Beechey was the southernmost territory of Copper Inuit.[1]
The lake was discovered by explorer George Back[2] and named by Sir John Franklin in honor of Frederick William Beechey.[3][4]
