Jordan Lake is a community in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Jordan Lake is located at 44.0803°N, 65.2697°W.

Jordan Lake rests in a fold of Nova Scotia's southwestern landscape, where the land softens into a mosaic of forest and water. It lies 35.5 km north of Shelburne, NS (from Shelburne, NS: bearing 7°T), and is situated 29.6 km north of Jordan Falls. The shores are a gentle embrace of granite and pine, the air carrying the clean, resinous scent of spruce and fir. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, falls in shifting patterns on the dark, still water, each ripple a fleeting interruption of the surface's glassy composure. Here, the trees stand sentinel, their branches reaching towards a sky that often holds a soft, diffused light, a characteristic of the region's coastal humidity. The terrain itself is a testament to glacial sculpting, a landscape of modest hills and hollows that cradle the lake's expanse. The history of Jordan Lake is tied to the broader narrative of Acadian settlement and the subsequent displacement, followed by the arrival of the Loyalists. Fishing and lumber were once the lifeblood of this area, the sturdy hulls of schooners built in small shipyards and the scent of sawdust a common perfume. Though the fishing fleets have largely retired to memory, a quiet hum of industry persists, with small-scale logging operations and artisanal craftspeople keeping traditional skills alive. The lake itself, a freshwater artery, has always been central, its bounty shaping the lives and livelihoods of those who call Jordan Lake home. The occasional distant call of a loon, a sound that echoes across the water, serves as a timeless reminder of the enduring natural spirit of this place.
