Kenogami Lake Station is an unincorporated place and railway point in the Unorganized West Part of Timiskaming District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1][2] It is located on the Blanche River in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin.
Transportation
Kenogami Lake Station is the eastern terminus of Ontario Highway 568 that heads 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) to its western terminus at Kenogami Lake on Ontario Highway 11 (at this point part of the Trans-Canada Highway), north of that highway's junction with Ontario Highway 66.
Kenogami Lake Station is on the Ontario Northland Railway main line, between Goldthorpe to the north and Swastika to the east, and is passed but not served by Northlander trains. It was formerly a train station on the line. In 1910 there was a proposal to connect this station to a Jackfish to Hudson Bay service, involving a ferry on Lake Superior and motor transport to the station.[3]

Jackfish is a Canadian Pacific Railway station situated on a good harbor on the north shore of Lake Superior. A company has been formed to carry passengers and freight from this point to Hudson Bay by motor vehicles and motor boats. The motor cars will go to Lake Kenogama, from which place the service will be continued by rail.
