Lake Cecebe is a lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada. Lake Cecebe is part of the Magnetawan River waterway. The lake boasts over 20 miles of shoreline. The village of Burk's Falls is located upstream of Lake Cecebe on the Magnetawan River and the historic village of Magnetawan, Ontario is located where the river exits Lake Cecebe and flows into Ahmic Lake.

The communities of Midlothian, Cecebe, Rockwynn, Port Carmen, and Magnetawan can all be found on the lake.

At the outflow of Lake Cecebe a hand operated lock and dam system between Lake Cecebe and Ahmic Lake can be found. These locks were built in 1886[3].

Lake Cecebe boasts a giant rock face called Echo Rock. This is worth a visit for anyone boating on the lake as it is only accessible by water. Echo Rock provides a nice view of the lake and surrounding area as well as a four-way echo[4].
