Approx Image Size : 4 1/2 X 3 inches Approx Overall Size: 7 X 10 1/2 inches Scale : 1: 1,700,000, Lake Nipissing (French: lac Nipissing) is a lake in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is 854.7 km in surface area, 196 meters above sea level and is located between the Ottawa River and Georgian Bay. Excluding the Great Lakes, Lake Nipissing is the fifth-largest lake in Ontario. It is relatively shallow for a large lake, with an average depth of only 10 metres (30 feet). The shallowness of the lake makes for many sandbars along the lake's irregular coastline. The lake has many islands. The largest population centre on the lake's shoreline is the city of North Bay. North Bay sits along the lake's northeastern shoreline. Other notable towns are Callander. The larger towns toward the western end of the lake are Sturgeon Falls, Garden Village, Cache Bay and Lavigne. Lake Nipissing drains into Georgian Bay, which is a part of Lake Huron, via the French River. Lake Nipissing lies about 25 km northwest of Algonquin Provincial Park. The French fur trader Étienne Brûlé was the first European to visit the lake in 1610. John Nicolet, another French trader and explorer had a "cabin and trading-house" for eight or nine years living among the Indians on the shores of Lake Nipissing until 1633 when he was recalled to Quebec to become Commisary and Indian Interpreter for the "Company of the Hundred Associates." The first permanent European settlement on the lake dates back to around 1874 on the southeast corner. In 1882 the North West Mounted Police established their presence on the north east shore.
