Whitesand Lake (Hewitson River)


Whitesand Lake is a lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada, part of the Hewitson River system. Another lake in Thunder Bay District with the same name, Whitesand Lake, lies further northwest and flows via the Whitesand River into Lake Nipigon.
Whitesand Lake is just north of Highway 17, about east of the community of Rossport and west of the community of Schreiber. The lake is about long at its longest, and at its widest. It is shaped roughly like the letter "H", with an elongated and fatter lower right arm. The primary inflow is the Whitesand River at the north side of the lake, and the lake flows out at the south-west via the Hewitson River over the Rainbow Falls into Lake Superior.
