Fourcorner Lake (French: lac Fourcorner) is a lake in the municipality of Dysart et al, Haliburton County in Central Ontario, Canada.[4][1][2][5][6] It is partly within Algonquin Provincial Park and is in the Ottawa River drainage basin. The lake takes its name from its location at a quadripoint, the junction point of four geographic townships: Harburn at northwest, Bruton at the northeast, Harcourt at the southeast, and Dudley at the southwest.[4][1][2]
