The Kopka River is a river in northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1] It forms at the height-of-land west of Lake Nipigon, flowing through rugged wilderness of Ontario's northern boreal forest, and drains into Wabinosh Lake.[2][3]
The indigenous name "Kopka" means "high rock".[3]
The river is accessible via Highway 527 that crosses the river at the outlet of Kopka Lake, as well as Graham Road, a forest access road at the western boundary of the Kopka River Provincial Park.[4]
