Frederick House River is a river in the Cochrane District of the Canadian province of Ontario .
It forms the drain of Night Hawk Lake . It flows through the neighboring Frederick House Lake in a northerly direction . 10 km north is the Frederick House Lake Control Dam , which regulates the runoff.
Another 10 km downstream is the Wanatango Falls . The construction of a hydropower plant is being planned there. The power plant is to be equipped with an output of 4.67 MW. It is to be operated as a run-of-river power plant with limited storage capacity. It should be able to hold back part of the water overnight and on weekends so that it can then fall back on an increased amount of water for the rest of the time. This forms a compromise between an optimal energy yield and the least possible interference with nature and the water balance.
The Frederick House River continues to flow north and after 100 km it reaches the Abitibi River coming from the east .
The name of the river and the nearby former trading post Frederick House (1785-1821) of the Hudson's Bay Company were named after Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany .
