The Ogoki River is a river in the Thunder Bay and Cochrane Districts of Ontario. The river flows northeast from lakes west of Lake Nipigon to Ogoki, where it joins the Albany River which empties into James Bay. The river is long. In 1943, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, now the Ontario Power Generation, diverted a large part of the upper Ogoki to flow into Lake Nipigon and so to the Great Lakes. This diversion was intended to increase water flow at a hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls, downstream of Lake Erie. The Ogoki flows through Wabakimi Provincial Park and is used for canoeing and fishing. The Ogoki Reservoir north of Lake Nipigon formed by a dam at Waboose Rapids is long and covers an area of approximately . The river was part of a canoe route from Hudson Bay to Lake Superior: James Bay, Albany River, Ogoki River, portage, Ombabika River, Lake Nipigon, Lake Superior. ==See also== *List of Ontario rivers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ogoki River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
