Cameron Lake, Ontario is one of the Kawartha Lakes and is a lake bordering the town of Fenelon Falls and is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. The lake is some 4 miles long by 2 miles wide and is quite deep, reaching 50 feet in places. The lake occupies the area between locks 33 & 34 on the Trent-Severn Waterway.

In the lake are found the Lakers Islands (aka Boyd and Rathbun islands).

Cameron lake is not eutrophic because it has a high flushing rate which counteracts its high phosphorus loading.
