Ascalon is an unincorporated place and former railway point in geographic Pentland Township in the Unorganized South Part of Nipissing District in northeastern Ontario, Canada.[1] Ascalon is located within Algonquin Provincial Park at the northwestern end of Mink Lake in the Amable du Fond River drainage basin.
It lies on the now-abandoned Canadian National Railway Alderdale Subdivision, a section of track that was originally constructed as the Canadian Northern Railway main line, between Kiosk to the west and Mink Lake to the east.
