The Otoskwin River is a river in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1] This river, once part of a major fur-trade route to James Bay,[2] is a significant tributary of the Attawapiskat River via Attawapiskat Lake.[3]
The indigenous name "Otoskwin" means "elbow".[4]
A contiguous section of the Otoskwin River from Otoskwin Lake to its mouth at Attawapiskat Lake is protected within the Pipestone River Provincial Park and Otoskwin-Attawapiskat River Provincial Park.[2][5]
