Rainy Lake, forming a portion of the boundary line between Ontario and the United States, lies west, and 100 miles distant from the nearest point, of Lake Superior, and is about 50 miles long. It discharges by Rainy River into Lake of the Woods. There were gold finds on the Canadian side in 1896-97.
