Blackstone Lake is a locality in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Blackstone Lake is located at 45.2486°N, 79.8844°W.

Blackstone Lake rests within the rugged embrace of the Canadian Shield, where ancient granite outcrops, smoothed by the slow grind of glaciers, tumble down to meet the dark, cool waters. It lies 16.7 km south-east of Parry Sound, ON (from Parry Sound, ON: bearing 135°T), and is situated 6.2 km south-south-east of Falding. The shoreline is a fractal mosaic of granite slabs, weathered pine roots clinging tenaciously to any available crevice, and small, sheltered coves where the water laps with a soft, persistent sigh. Pine and spruce dominate the surrounding landscape, their needles carpeting the forest floor in a rich, earthy scent, and their dark forms creating a dense, whispering canopy that filters the sunlight into shifting patterns. In the summer months, the air hums with the industry of insects and the distant calls of loons, a wild symphony that underscores the profound stillness of this place. The history of Blackstone Lake is deeply entwined with the logging and mining that once shaped this region, leaving behind echoes of a more boisterous past in the weathered remnants of old camps and abandoned shafts. While those industries have largely faded, a resilient spirit persists, with many families maintaining connections to the land through fishing, hunting, and a quiet appreciation for the natural bounty. The lake itself, a popular destination for cottagers and recreational boaters seeking respite from the city, contributes to the local economy, fostering a sense of shared stewardship over its pristine waters. The distinctive character of Blackstone Lake lies in its untamed beauty, a place where the raw power of the Precambrian landscape is softened by the gentle rhythm of the seasons and the enduring presence of its inhabitants.
