Wolfe Lake is a lake of Ontario, Canada, located in the eastern part of the province in South Frontenac and Rideau Lakes Townships. The nearest village is Westport.

The shoreline surrounding Wolfe Lake is a mix of cottages, farmland and forest, with both gradual sloping shoreline and steeply pitched grades of rocky outcroppings. There are eight islands within the lake: Derbyshire, Grape, Turnip, Woods, Horseshoe, Duck, Bateman, and Whitefish.

Some species of fish living in Wolfe Lake include both smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, perch, rockbass, sunfish, bluegill and whitefish. Wildlife is diverse, including black bear, white-tailed deer, eastern coyotes, fox, minks, common loons and bald eagles.

A local group, The Wolfe Lake (Westport) Association works to maintain the natural beauty and pristine state of both Wolfe and Green Lakes and their shorelines.

There are also road associations that maintain the roads.
