The Saint Lawrence River was formerly known as MAGTOGOEK, or "the walking path", by Native American peoples. It is considered one of the largest rivers in the world and is now ranked ninth among the most threatened rivers in America. It is a long waterway that flows through Quebec and naturally separates Canada from the United States.
This immense Canadian lake is a natural border, with Ontario on one side and Quebec on the other. Its name derives from the Algonquin word timiskaming, which means "at the deep lake."
The NOTTAWAY River winds through northern Quebec and was an official fur trade route. Obviously, it is no longer used for commerce today, but it is an incredible place for paddling.
For thousands of years, the KINOJEVIS River, flowing through Abitibi-Témiscamingue, served as a communication route for the Algonquins who traveled between the Harricana and Ottawa river basins. KINOJEVIS is believed to be a distortion of the Algonquin word 'kenogewich' meaning 'bad pike'. It is found in the river's waters and supposedly has a reputation for tasting very bad.
