Boston Creek is a locality in Timiskaming, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Boston Creek is located at 48.0107°N, 79.9377°W.

Boston Creek lies nestled amidst the undulating boreal shield, a place where the spruce and pine hold dominion, their dark green needles a constant, stoic presence against the vast Ontario sky. It lies 17.0 km south-south-east of Kirkland Lake, ON (from Kirkland Lake, ON: bearing 155°T), and is situated 21.4 km north-north-west of Englehart. The land here is a mosaic of rock outcrops, smoothed by ancient glaciers, and muskeg, a spongy, dark earth that exhales the scent of damp moss and decaying wood after a rain. Small, clear lakes, like scattered pieces of polished obsidian, punctuate the landscape, their waters reflecting the immense sky and the brooding treeline. The air, even in summer, carries a crispness, a reminder of the deep winter that will inevitably return, and the silence is profound, broken only by the cry of a distant loon or the rustle of a deer through the undergrowth. The story of Boston Creek is etched in the earth and in the spirit of its people, a narrative shaped by the promise of minerals unearthed and the resilience required to thrive in this northern expanse. For decades, the rhythm of life here was dictated by the pulse of the mine, a steady beat that brought workers and their families, forging a close-knit community bound by shared endeavour and the stark beauty of their surroundings. While the echoes of that industrial past still resonate, the local economy has diversified, with forestry and a hardy spirit of self-sufficiency now playing significant roles. The very character of Boston Creek is one of quiet persistence, a place where the starkness of the land breeds a strength of spirit, and where the long, golden light of late afternoon can transform even the most ordinary vista into something profoundly beautiful.
