Roderick Lake is a lake in the municipalities of Georgian Bay and Muskoka Lakes, District Municipality of Muskoka in Central Ontario, Canada.[1][2][4][5][6] It is in the Great Lakes Basin, and with the exception of the northwest end, is mostly in the municipality of Muskoka Lakes.[4]

The primary inflow is Haggart Creek at the east; there are several unnamed, secondary inflows. The primary outflow is also Haggart Creek, leaving at the southeast. Haggart Creek flows via the Moon River to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.[1][2][4]

The Canadian Pacific Railway main line runs along the northeast shore of the lake; the railway point of Duffy is on the line on the shore of the lake.[4]
