Batchawana River

Batchawana River

The Batchawana River is a river in the Algoma District of Ontario, Canada, which empties into Batchawana Bay on Lake Superior north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

The Hudson's Bay Company established a fur trading post on the bay during the 1800s. North of Batchawana Bay is Pancake Bay, so named because fur traders travelling east from Fort William had only enough flour left to make pancakes.

A provincial park is located on Batchawana Bay with a large sandy beach.

The name "Batchawana" is derived from an Ojibwe word meaning "turbulent waters".
