Ogoki River

The Ogoki River is a river in Cochrane District, Ontario which flows northeast from lakes west of Lake Nipigon to join the Albany River which empties into James Bay. The river is 480 km in length. In 1943, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, now Ontario Power Generation, diverted a large part of the upper Ogoki to flow into Lake Nipigon and, so, the Great Lakes. This diversion was intended to increase water flow at a hydroelectric plant on the Welland River. The Ogoki flows through Wabakimi Provincial Park and is used for canoeing and fishing. The Ogoki Reservoir north of Lake Nipigon formed by a dam at Waboose Rapids is 70 km long and covers an area of approximately 15,000 ha.
