Blaketown is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
As Blaketown is on the Route 80 (Trinity Road),[2][3] a few service businesses emerged, including a small grocery store and a gas station. In more recent years, several other businesses have begun operation, including a hardware retailer, an auto repair shop, a woodworking enterprise, an auto parts outlet and a Regional High School. The lake, that extends most of the length of Blaketown, is Dildo Pond.[4][5]
