Blaine Lake is a town in central Saskatchewan, Canada and is situated 80 kilometers north of Saskatoon at the junction of Saskatchewan Highway 12 and 40.
Blaine Lake is situated centrally between three Saskatchewan cities: Saskatoon, North Battleford, and Prince Albert.
Saskatoon's increasing cost of living has allowed the population of Blaine Lake to slowly grow.[citation needed] A possible explanation is that Blaine Lake still maintains a relatively inexpensive cost of living with the convenience of urban centers like Shellbrook, Rosthern and Saskatoon nearby. This makes Blaine Lake a viable option for quiet habitation.
Blaine Lake is a community with many amenities including an elementary and high school, curling rink, skating rink, grocery store, hardware store, bank, post office, several restaurants and two gas stations. Other businesses include a SARCAN depot, an insurance broker, a metal fabricator, a sign shop and several construction contractors.
Blaine Lake is known for being "The Gateway to the Lakes!" as many lakes, campgrounds, golf courses and tourist attractions are located within a short distance from the town of Blaine Lake.
[edit] History
Blaine Lake was incorporated in 1912, taking its name from a nearby lake.
