Mameigwess Lake (French : lac Mameigwess) is a lake in the south of the Unorganized Part of Kenora District in northwestern Ontario, Canada. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The lake is in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
The lake is 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) long and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) wide, [2] and lies at an elevation of 405 metres (1,329 ft). [6] The southwest corner of the lake is in geographic Isley Township [7] and the southeast corner of the lake in geographic Bradshaw Township. [8] The lake is about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northwest of the community of Ignace; and 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north of Ontario Highway 17, and can be reached from that highway by road. [2] [4] [5] There is a hunting and fishing camp on the lake. [9]
There are numerous unnamed inflows. The primary outflow, at the southeast in geographic Bradshaw Township, [8] is the Mameigwess River, which flows via the Agimak River, the English River, the Winnipeg River and the Nelson River to Hudson Bay. [2] [4]
