Ottawa River, River system between Quebec and Ontario, Canada
The Ottawa River flows through east-central Canada for 1,271 kilometers from Lake Capimitchigama to the St. Lawrence River near Montreal.
Samuel de Champlain first explored this waterway in 1613, establishing it as a primary route for fur traders between Montreal and the Great Lakes.
The Algonquin people named the river Kitchissippi, meaning great river, and used its waters for transportation and sustenance for thousands of years.
The river system generates substantial hydroelectric power through multiple dams, providing electricity to communities across Ontario and Quebec provinces.
The river contains 85 fish species and forms numerous lakes along its course, including Victoria, Timiskaming, Allumette, and Deschenes.
