The Lake Laurentian Conservation Area (French: Zone de conservation du lac Laurentien) is a conservation area in the Ramsey Lake sub-watershed of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, and is based around the man-made Lake Laurentian. The lake began to form in the 1950s, due to the construction of dams at the outlet of what was then a smaller lake called Mud Lake.
The conservation area was established in 1967 by the Junction Creek Conservation Authority, now part of Conservation Sudbury. The conservation area supports numerous recreational activities, including an extensive trail network.
