Michipicoten River
The
Michipicoten River
is a river in northern
Ontario
,
Canada
, which flows from Lake Wabatongushi and empties into Michipicoten Bay on
Lake Superior
. This river is 113 km in length. In the days of the
fur trade
, this river provided access to
James Bay
by way of the
Missinaibi
and
Moose Rivers
.
Pierre-Esprit Radisson
and
Mdard des Groseilliers
are believed to be the first non-natives to travel this route. A
French
trading post was built at the river's mouth in the early
1700s
and remained in use until abandoned by the
Hudson's Bay Company
in
1904
. The river's name means "big bluffs" in
Ojibwe
and refers to the large hills located near the river's mouth.
