Ivanhoe Lake
Ivanhoe Lake is a 25-kilometre (16 mi) long, narrow lake in the Unorganized North Part of Sudbury District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is on the Ivanhoe River in the James Bay drainage basin and is located 8 kilometres (5 mi) southwest of Foleyet on Ontario Highway 101. The lake is substantially encompassed by Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park, except for some private cottages at the northeast end of the lake. The lake is known as Pishkanogami in the Anishinaabe language, and was once the site of Pishkanogami Post, a Hudson's Bay Company trading post. It was renamed Ivanhoe Lake in 1960.
