The Missinaibi River ( French Rivière Missinaibi ) is a 426 km long river in the north of the Canadian province of Ontario .
The Missinaibi River joins the Mattagami River near Moosonee and forms the Moose River , which later flows into James Bay . Since the flow through the Michipicoten River to the Lake Superior is connected, it was once used by merchants. Many trading posts were therefore built on the river at the end of the 18th century. Today it is used for fishing and camping.
The Missinaibi River has the status of a Canadian Heritage River . The upper reaches of the Missinaibi River to the confluence of the Brunswick River is also within the Missinaibi Provincial Park .
The name means "represented water" in the Cree language.
