Shuswap Lake
Shuswap Lake (pronounced /ˈʃuːʃwɑːp/) is a lake located in south-central British Columbia, Canada that drains via the Little River into Little Shuswap Lake.
Little Shuswap Lake is the source of the South Thompson River, a branch of the Thompson River, a tributary of the Fraser River.
It is at the heart of a region known as the Shuswap Country or "the Shuswap", noted for its recreational lakeshore communities including the city of Salmon Arm.
The name "Shuswap" is derived from the Shuswap or Secwepemc First Nations people, the most northern of the Interior Salish peoples, whose territory includes the Shuswap.
The Shuswap call themselves /ʃǝxwépmǝx/ in their own language, which is called /ʃǝxwepmǝxtʃín/, but the ethnonym’s original meaning is now lost.
South Thompson River
The South Thompson River is the southern branch of the Thompson River, the largest tributary of the Fraser River, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
It originates at the outlet of Little Shuswap Lake at the town of Chase and flows approximately southwest and west through a wide valley to Kamloops where it joins the North Thompson River to form the main stem Thompson River.
Highway 1, the Trans- Canada Highway, and the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway parallel the river.
Little Shuswap Lake is fed by the Little River, which drains Shuswap Lake, which is fed by several rivers and creeks.
Before 1982 the river was considered to start at the outlet of Shuswap Lake rather than Little Shuswap Lake, but the short river between Shuswap Lake and Little Shuswap Lake was officially renamed Little River in keeping with long- established local usage.
The South Thompson's main tributaries are Chase Creek, which joins from the south at Chase, Niskonlith Creek, which joins from the north near Niskonlith Lake Provincial Park, Monte Creek, which joins from the south at Monte Creek, and Campbell Creek, which joins from the south.
Lac à Mars
The lac à Mars is a fresh body of water in the watershed of the rivière à Mars North-West, the rivière à Mars and the Saguenay River.
This body of water is located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Lac à Mars is located in the central eastern part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
Upstream of the port, industrial and urban area, the rivière à Mars valley is mainly served by the Consol Paper road.
The rivière à Mars North-West is served by a few other secondary forest roads for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the lac à March is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.

The Little River is essentially the same stream as the South Thompson, as there are no other major streams feeding Little Shuswap Lake.
The river is spanned by Squilax Bridge which connects the Trans- Canada Highway to the communities around Adams Lake and the north shore of Shuswap Lake.
The Little River has one named tributary, Chum Creek, which enters it about 0.4 km above its mouth.
