OTTAWA, LOOKING UP THE OTTAWA RIVER. – Ottawa, or Grand River, is an important river of the British North America. It has its rise in latitude 48° 30’ N., longitude 80° W., and flows a general southeast course between Upper and Lower Canada to Lake of the Two Mountains - an expansion of the St. Lawrence River - a distance about 800 miles.
During this course it receives many large rivers, as Rouge River, Riviere du Lievre, Gatineau, Madawaska, Bonne Cher, Petewahweh and Manwagemon. It also expands into considerable lakes, as Grand and Temiscaming lakes. Owing to numerous rapids and cataracts, navigation is much impeded at times, but rafting is extensively carried on and immense
quantities of lumber are annually floated down.
