Wanapitei

Wanapitei is the wooded country around the lake and river of the same name, north of Georgian Bay. The Anishinaabe name describes a place where the water is shaped like a tooth. This is the traditional territory of the Wahnapitae people, who hunted, fished and travelled throughout the watershed. The river runs through the lake and continues south to join the French River, linking the inland forests to the waters of Lake Huron.
