Kent Lake is a reservoir in western Marin County, California formed by the construction of Peters Dam across Lagunitas Creek. Built in 1954, the lake is the most recent lake of the Marin Municipal water district, as well as the largest. Unlike the other lakes in the area, Kent Lake has almost no hiking trails around it.
