Churchill River

                Churchill River (Rivière Churchill) is a major river in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada. From the head of the Churchill Lake it is 1,609 km long.
                Churchill River's source is a number of lakes in Central-East Alberta which flow into a series of lakes in Saskatchewan (Churchill Lake, Peter Pond Lake), and Manitoba. The main tributary, the Beaver River (Canada), joins at Lac Île-à-la-Crosse. A large amount of flow of the Churchill River after Manitoba - Saskatchewan border comes from the Reindeer River, which flows from Wollaston and Reindeer lakes. From there, the Churchill River flows east through a series of lakes (Highrock, Granville, Southern Indian and Gauer), then flows via a diversion for hydro-electric generation into the Nelson River (60% of flow), and the rest flows as the Churchill River into Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba.
