Lake St. George is a kettle lake in Richmond Hill, Ontario and now located in the restricted-access conservation area managed by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). There is no public access to Lake St. George. Fishing and hiking at the site are strictly prohibited unless arranged through TRCA.
The lake is named for Henri St. George, French-born son of French Royalist, and one-time settler in Upper Canada Quetton St. George. Henri St. George settled in Upper Canada in 1847 and established his Glen Lonely estate in Richmond Hill, which contained the lake that bears his name.
