'''Lake Scugog''' is an [[artificial lake|artificially flooded]] [[lake]] in [[Scugog]], [[Regional Municipality of Durham]] and the unitary city of [[Kawartha Lakes]] in [[central Ontario]], Canada.<ref name="CGNDB"/> It lies between the communities of [[Port Perry]] and [[Lindsay, Ontario|Lindsay]]. The lake has been raised and lowered several times over its history. Though not technically part of the [[Kawartha lakes (Ontario)|Kawartha lakes]] due to its shallow depths, it is often geographically linked to them. Its sole [[discharge (hydrology)|outflow]], the [[Scugog River]], connects to [[Sturgeon Lake (Ontario)|Sturgeon Lake]]. Lake Scugog is in the [[Great Lakes Basin]] and forms part of the [[Trent–Severn Waterway]].
