The Kennisis Lakes (Big Kennisis and Little Kennisis) are lakes just southwest of Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. With a combined surface area of over 16 km2, together the lakes form the second-largest lake in the Haliburton Highlands.
The lake’s shoreline is almost entirely developed, with the newest residences built on the western shore. The Kennisis Lakes are bordered by Haliburton Forest on the north and east, nearby Algonquin Provincial Park to the north, and also a third tract of land to the west, which is a 24,000-hectare (59,000-acre) tract of Crown land referred to as the Frost Center Area, after Leslie M. Frost. The lake is accessible through the town of West Guilford on County Road 7, Kennisis Lake Road.
