Balsam Lake is a lake in the City of Kawartha Lakes in Central Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] It is in the Great Lakes Basin, is one of the lakes of the Kawartha Lakes, and is at the summit of the Trent–Severn Waterway.

Geography

Balsam Lake is {{convert|16|km}} long and averages {{convert|3|km}} wide, though its actual width varies due to the many large bays the carve its shoreline; the total area is {{convert|48|km2}} and the watershed area is {{convert|115|km2}}.[5] The primary inflows are the Gull River at the north and the Staples River at the southwest.[1][2]

The lake is the highest point of the Trent–Severn Waterway at {{convert|256.3|m}}; from here, the waterway descends to Georgian Bay in the northwest, and to Lake Ontario in the southeast.[6] It is the highest point to which a vessel can be navigated from sea level in the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River drainage basin.

The main outflow, at the east, is the Rosedale River and Trent Canal leading to Cameron Lake.[1][2]

The village of Coboconk is located on the north side of the lake.

Natural history

Balsam Lake Provincial Park[7] and Indian Point Provincial Park[8] are located on the north shore of the lake.[2]

The lake offers excellent fishing for bass, walleye, and muskie. Mackenzie Bay in West Bay is a popular spot for boats to congregate on a warm summer day.[9]
