Kaministiquia River

The Kaministiquia River is a waterway which exhausts into western Lake Superior at the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Kaministiquia Gaa-ministigweyaa is an Ojibwe word meaning "stream with islands" because of two substantial islands McKellar and Mission at the mouth of the waterway. The delta has 3 branches or outlets, thought about early North American maps in French as "les trois rivieres" the three waterways, the southernmost is known as the Mission River, the focal branch as the McKellar River, and the northernmost branch as the Kaministiquia. Occupants of the district normally allude to the waterway as the Kam River.

Water stream in the Kaministiquia River framework is directed at the Dog Lake dams 1 and 2 and at the Greenwater, Kashabowie and Shebandowan dams. Two creating stations, one at Kakabeka Falls 25 MW and another at Silver Falls 48 MW, are worked by Ontario Power Generation OPG, an open organization entirely possessed by Government of Ontario. Kakabeka Falls, situated on this waterway, is the biggest cascade in the Lake Superior watershed at a tallness of 47 meters 154 ft. Below these falls, the stream courses through a broad floodplain made by an old antecedent that moved through this locale following the last ice age.
