It is located in the southwest of the Nunavut Territory , on the border with the Northwest Territories, and is 236 m above sea level. The lake is traversed by the Dubawnt River, which flows into the Thelon River . Its entire north shore is taken up by the Thelon Game Sanctuary . The lake is north of the tree line in a barely populated region and carries ice long into summer.

During the arctic summer, the Dubawntsee is used by some sport fishermen who fly in and live in camps there.
