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.
