Kenogami River

Kenogami River

The Kenogami River is a river in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada which flows north from Long Lake near Longlac to join the Albany River which empties into James Bay. The river is 320 km in length. In 1948, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, now Ontario Power Generation, diverted this river's headwaters to empty through the Aguasabon River into Lake Superior. A watershed of almost 4,400 km² was diverted from James Bay to the Great Lakes drainage system.

Kenogami means "long water" in the Cree language.
