The Journey to James Bay
The Redstone River enters the lake from the southwest side and leaves from the northeast side. After leaving Redstone Lake, the water travels a long way. It flows into the Frederick House River, then into the Abitibi River, and finally into the Moose River. All these rivers eventually carry the water to James Bay, which is a large body of water connected to the Arctic Ocean.
