Shikwamkwa Lake

This lake is intricately connected to the Windermere River and Goldie River with a spread of flows moving southerly in a variety of directions. The location of the water sampling is at a boat launch, where signs posted indicate that there is no fishing allowed due to its classification as a "Fish Sanctuary". There are signs that indicate the boundaries of the fish sanctuary. NOTE: The Windermere River is claimed to have been a historical trade route with connections to lakes near the Lake Superior Provincial Park, and to the east, makes connections to Balkow Lake, which is a part of the Little Missanabie Lake, which connects to the "big" Missinaibi Lake at Ferry Point, a sacred place with historical pictographs. It is indicated in elder "Archi Nolan's" notes, that there exists pictographs on the Windermere River.
