The Whitefish River is a cool river located in the Kenora District in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It's part of a huge water system that flows into Hudson Bay and the Nelson River. Think of it as a smaller stream that feeds into a bigger river called the Berens River.

The River's Journey

The Whitefish River starts its journey from a lake that doesn't have a name. From there, it flows south until it reaches Retter Lake.

Next, the river turns west. It picks up water from a creek that flows out of Blondin Lake. Then, it turns north and gets more water from another creek coming from Turp Lake.

The river continues its path, heading northwest. It receives water from a creek that flows out of Coathup Lake. Finally, the Whitefish River reaches its end point, joining the larger Berens River. The Berens River then flows into Lake Winnipeg.
