The Namakan River is a river in the Rainy River District in the Canadian province of Ontario not far from the border with the United States .

The Namakan River forms the outflow from Lac la Croix to Namakan Lake further west . He leaves Lac la Croix on its western north bank. Initially it flows in a northerly direction. The river splits into two arms, which unite again in Threemile Lake , which it then flows through.

On its route it overcomes several rapids, including Myrtle Falls , Quetico Rapids , High Falls , Hay Rapids and Lady Rapids . Major tributaries are Bearpelt Creek and Quetico River , both from the right.
