The Sand River (French: rivière Sand) is a river in the Algoma District of Ontario, Canada which flows from Sand Lake and empties into Lake Superior south of Wawa, Ontario.[1]
The Ojibway name for the river is Pinguisibi. Where pingui means fine white sand and sibi means river[2].
The river descends to the lake in a series of low cascades in Lake Superior Provincial Park. The river is named after the sand bar formed across its mouth.
