Is Iron Lake in Dexter a real town?
Iron Lake is a fictional town in Upstate New York, but it does appear take its name from the very real Iron Lake — a lake, not a town — in the Adirondacks region.
The real Iron Lake. While Iron Lake, New York is fictional, the majority of filming for New Blood took place in a real town – Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. The production chose Shelburne Falls for its close-knit small-town vibes.
“Dexter: New Blood” ended its 10-week run Sunday night. And, Michael C. Hall — who plays America's favorite fictional serial killer Dexter Morgan — made his last stand (at least, for now) in the woods of 535 Harvard Road in Lancaster. In fact, most of the show's riveting climax took place in Lancaster.
Nearly a decade after America's favorite fictional serial killer disappeared into a Miami hurricane in the original series finale, in New Blood it is revealed that Dexter was alive and well living in Iron Lake, NY under the alias Jim Lindsay.

According to Insider, the two stars were married for a while in real life. In 2007, Hall and Carpenter became romantically involved a year after the show debuted. They married the following year.
