Puslinch Lake is a kettle lake located in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest kettle lake in North America. The lake is "private", according to Puslinch Township Council, but some public access (beach and boat launch) was available near the trailer park until the owners closed both to the public in July 2020 after a snowmobile accident left the owners of the access point fiscally responsible, prompting a quick closure of the public access point. In October 2020, Township of Puslinch announced that it "working towards creating a public access to Puslinch Lake".
The Puslinch Lake - Irish Creek Wetland, a provincially significant area, is adjacent to the lake.
