Derivation of the Kenogami River to the Aguasabon River

The Kenogami River is a river in the Thunder Bay District and Cochrane District in the Canadian province of Ontario .

The Kenogami River originally formed the outflow from Long Lake near Longlac to the Albany River , which flows into James Bay . The river has a length of 320 km.

In 1937-38, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario , today's Ontario Power Generation , built the Kenogami Diverson Dam ( ⊙ ) to divert the water from the upper Kenogami River to the Aguasabon River and Lake Superior . The water now flows in the opposite direction to Long Lake and through a drainage channel on to Long Lake Control Dam . A catchment area with an area of ​​4400 km² was withdrawn from James Bay and added to the Great Lakes .

Kenogami means "long water" in the Cree language .
