Kenosee Lake, also known as Fish Lake, is a closed-basin kettle lake in the south-east corner of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake lies in Moose Mountain Provincial Park in the heart of the Moose Mountain Upland, a forested plateau that rises about 200 metres (660 ft) above the surrounding prairie. Over the years, lake water levels have fluctuated greatly.
The village of Kenosee Lake and the neighbouring Moose Mountain subdivisions are the only places on the lake with a year-round population. Kenosee Lake has campgrounds, hiking trails, beaches, and docks for fishing and lake access. Winter sees snowmobiling, ice fishing, and tobogganing. There are three Bible camps on the west side of the lake at the site of a long-abandoned resort community. Access to Kenosee Lake and its amenities is from Highways 9 and 209.
