Lake Niinsaare (Estonian: Niinsaare järv) is a lake in Estonia.
The lake has an area of 6.2 hectares (15 acres), with a shoreline 1.2 kilometers (0.75 mi) long.[1]
On the shore of the lake there is the holiday village of Niinsaare.
Lake Niinsaare is located 0.5 kilometers (0.31 mi) northwest of Lake Kurtna Nõmmejärv. It used to be a 7.7 ha (19-acre) closed lake. In 1963, a ditch was dug in Lake Mustjärve from Lake Kurtna Suurjärvi, which caused the water level in Lake Niinsaare to drop significantly. By the summer of 1968, at least 50% of the lake was dry.[2]
