The Carrot River is a river in northeastern Saskatchewan, and northwestern Manitoba. The river begins at Waterhen Marsh located south of Kinistino, Saskatchewan and continues through northeast Saskatchewan until it empties into the Saskatchewan River north-west of The Pas, Manitoba. The Carrot River serves as the main watershed for northeastern Saskatchewan as all smaller streams and rivers empty into the Carrot River. This causes major flood problems during the spring run off and rainy seasons around the Town of Carrot River and Red Earth Indian Reserve. The floods usually strand everyone east of the river with very few ways around the flooded area.
Another Carrot River enters Oxford Lake on the Hayes River.
