The De Lesseps River is a river found in Ontario, Canada. It flows through a wild area called the Unorganized Part of Thunder Bay District. This river is part of a huge system of waterways. All the water from this system eventually flows into James Bay. The De Lesseps River is a smaller branch that joins the Miniss River.
The Journey of the De Lesseps River
The De Lesseps River starts its journey from a lake that doesn't have a name. From there, it flows towards the east. Then, it turns and heads northeast.
Where the River Flows
The river soon reaches a larger body of water called De Lesseps Lake. There's even a small airport, De Lesseps Lake Airport, located on the eastern side of this lake. After leaving De Lesseps Lake, the river continues flowing north.
Joining Other Waters
Finally, the De Lesseps River reaches its end. It flows into Miniss Lake, where it joins the Miniss River. The Miniss River then continues its path to Lake St. Joseph. From Lake St. Joseph, the water travels through the Albany River. This long journey eventually leads all the way to James Bay.
