Nosbonsing

Nosbonsing lies east of Lake Nipissing, among the forests and waters of the Nbisiing homeland. Its lake bears a name of Ojibwe origin, interpreted locally as a meeting place, and drains northeast by the Kaibuskong River. Nearby, travellers used the Mattawa route and a series of portages to move between the Ottawa River and Lake Nipissing. French traders and voyageurs later followed this passage west towards Georgian Bay and the upper Great Lakes.
