Discover Mameigwess Lake
Mameigwess Lake is located in the northern area of Ontario, Canada. This region is called "unorganized" because it doesn't have local city governments like towns do. The lake sits about 245 meters (804 feet) above sea level.
How Water Flows Through the Lake
Mameigwess Lake is like a stop on a long water journey that ends in Hudson Bay. Water flows into the lake from Michikenopik Creek at its southwest corner. Many other smaller streams also feed into the lake.
The main way water leaves Mameigwess Lake is through a channel at its northwest side. This channel leads to Fishbasket Lake. From there, the water continues its journey through the Fishbasket River and Winisk Lake. Finally, it flows into the Winisk River, which carries it all the way to Hudson Bay.
