Mink Lake is a locality in Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Mink Lake is located at 45.5560°N, 77.0444°W.

Mink Lake rests in a hollow carved by ancient glaciers, its waters a deep, reflecting blue against the rugged contours of the Canadian Shield. It lies 29.6 km west-north-west of Renfrew, ON (from Renfrew, ON: bearing 288°T), and is situated 14.9 km west-south-west of Cobden. The air here carries the crisp, resinous scent of pine and balsam fir, a constant perfume that mingles with the earthy dampness rising from the forest floor. Dominating the landscape are the rolling, granite hills, their flanks cloaked in dense, mixed woodland where birch and maple stand sentinel amongst the evergreens, their leaves a vibrant tapestry of greens in summer and fiery hues in autumn. The shoreline of Mink Lake itself is a wild, untamed embrace of rock outcrops, sandy coves, and thickets of alder, offering a sense of profound solitude and a quiet invitation to the heron and the otter. The history of Mink Lake is deeply entwined with the logging and mining endeavours that once pulsed through this rugged territory, echoes of which can still be felt in the scattered remnants of old access roads and the hardy spirit of its residents. Local families, many with roots stretching back generations, have long drawn their livelihood from the bounty of the land, from the timber that once fueled distant industries to the more sustainable pursuits of fishing and tourism that define the current economy. The quiet hum of small businesses catering to cottagers and outdoors enthusiasts forms the gentle rhythm of daily life, a stark contrast to the roar of machinery that might have once echoed through these hills. Notable for its pristine waters and the surrounding wilderness, Mink Lake remains a place where nature's grandeur asserts itself, a tranquil haven shaped by both the slow hand of time and the enduring resilience of its human inhabitants.
