The Champlain Trail Lakes are a group of lakes on the southern point of Whitewater Region in Ontario. [1] They lie in more or less a straight line and are named for the fact that explorer Samuel de Champlain used them to portage around the Chenaux Rapids while exploring the Ottawa River. [2] Coldingham, Catharine and Garden Lake all drain into Browns Bay. The rest of the lakes drain into the Muskrat River which flows through each successively.
The Champlain Trail Lakes include:
- Coldingham Lake
- Catharine Lake
- Garden Lake
- Edmunds Lake
- Blanchards Lake
- Smiths Lake
- Lake Galilee
- Dump Lake
- Eadys Lake
- Pumphouse Lake
