Norcan Lake is a reservoir lake in the municipality of North Frontenac, Frontenac County in Eastern Ontario, Canada.[1][2] It is on the Madawaska River system, is part of the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, and is located in geographic townships of North Canonto Township and South Canonto Township.[3]

The lake was formed when land flooded upon the completion of the Barrett Chute dam and generating station in 1943.
