Koshlong Lake is a lake in the municipalities of Highlands East and Dysart et al, Haliburton County in Central Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] It is part of the Great Lakes Basin.

Most of the lake is in geographic Glamorgan Township in Highlands East; only the very northwest tip is in geographic Dysart Township in Dysart et al.[2][5]

The primary inflow, at the east, is Koshlong Creek. The primary outflow is also Koshlong Creek, at the southwest and controlled by a dam, that flows to the Burnt River, which in turn flows via the Kawartha lakes, the Otonabee River and the Trent River to Lake Ontario.[2]

YMCA Camp Wanakita is located on the lake.[6]
