Lakes in Saskatchewan with varying shoreline development indices (islands included): Peter Pond - 1.5, Churchill - 4.1, Ile a la Crosse - 8.2

The shoreline development index of a lake is the ratio of the length of the lake's shoreline to the circumference of a circle with the same area as the lake.[1][2][3] It is given in equation form as , where is shoreline development, is the length of the lake's shoreline, and is the lake's area.[2] The length and area should be measured in the units (e.g., m and m2, or km and km2). The shoreline development index is for perfectly circular lakes.[2] for lakes with complex shapes.[2]
