Maganasipi

Maganasipi, the “wolf river”, runs through the wooded uplands north of the Ottawa River. Its eastern and western branches join a waterway that drains a lake of the same name into the Ottawa. The valley belongs to Algonquin country, where rivers and portages carried people between hunting grounds and neighbouring watersheds. During the seventeenth century, canoe flotillas on the Ottawa carried furs towards French trading centres and returned with goods for exchange inland.
