Wapikopa

Wapikopa Lake lies in the upper Winisk watershed, amid the lakes and forests of northern Ontario. Its waters belong to a network used by Indigenous families for travel, fishing and hunting. A Hudson’s Bay Company post known as Fort Wapikopa or Fort Concord stood on the lake during the 1830s, drawing the fur trade into this inland waterway. The lake connects with the Winisk River, which ultimately reaches Hudson Bay.
