NIPISSING

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 707 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIPISSING , a lake of the
district
  of the same name in
Ontario
 , Canada, situated nearly midway between Lake
Huron
  and the
Ottawa
  river, at an altitude of 644 ft. above the sea. It is of irregular shape, with bold shores, and contains many islands; from the
north
  it receives the waters of
Sturgeon
  river. It is 5o m. in length and 20 in breadth; discharges its waters by
French
  river into Lake
Huron
 , and is separated by a low water-
shed
  from the Mattawa river, a tributary of the
Ottawa
 . It has been proposed as the summit level of the projected Ottawa and Georgian Bay canal, an important project rendered difficult by the numerous rapids both on French river and on the Ottawa. With the Ottawa, Mattawa and French, it formed the old voyageur route from Montreal to the
Great
  Lakes.
