West Nipissing

West Nipissing’s landscape is a mosaic of Canadian Shield woodland, wetlands and the Lake Nipissing shoreline, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and an economy connected with forestry, services and recreation. The Sturgeon River runs through Sturgeon Falls, the municipality’s principal community, before entering Lake Nipissing; the falls gave the town its name. Created in 1999 by joining Sturgeon Falls with several surrounding townships and communities, West Nipissing brings together rural Ontario settlements with a strong French-speaking presence. Lake Nipissing supports boating and fishing, while the surrounding forests establish a distinctly northern Ontario setting.
