Champlain Trail Lakes

The Champlain Trail Lakes are a group of lakes on the southern point of Whitewater Region in Ontario.[1] They lie in more or less a straight line and are named for the fact that explorer Samuel de Champlain used them to portage around the Chenaux Rapids while exploring the Ottawa River.[2] Coldingham, Catharine and Garden Lake all drain into Browns Bay. The rest of the lakes drain into the Muskrat River which flows through each successively.

The Champlain Trail Lakes include:

  • Coldingham Lake
  • Catharine Lake
  • Garden Lake
  • Edmunds Lake
  • Blanchards Lake
  • Smiths Lake
  • Lake Galilee
  • Dump Lake
  • Eadys Lake
  • Pumphouse Lake
  • Olmstead-Jeffrey Lake
