Wanapitei Lake

Lake Wanapitei fills an ancient impact crater in the forested country north of Georgian Bay. Its Ojibwe name, Waanabidebiing, refers to the shape of the water, likened to a tooth. The lake lies in the traditional territory of the Wahnapitae Anishinaabeg, whose homeland includes the surrounding watershed. The Wanapitei River enters from the north and leaves at the southern end, eventually joining the French River on its way to Lake Huron.
