Nao Lake is a glacial lake on the Mistik Creek chain in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada. It sits in the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests which consist of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees. The region around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular rocky shorelines due to intense glaciation. The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route in length which can be paddled in four days. ==Etymology== Nao is Cree for "four". It is notable for being one of fourteen lakes on Mistik Creek named in numeric order in Cree.〔 The fourteen lakes listed by their Cree names with the english translations in order from south to north are: *Payuk Lake - One (outflow) *Neso Lake - Two *Nisto Lake - Three *Nao Lake - Four *Niyanun Lake - Five *Nikotwasik Lake - Six *Tapukok Lake - Seven *Uyenanao Lake - Eight *Kakat Lake - Nine *Mitatut Lake - Ten *Payukosap Lake - Eleven *Nesosap Lake - Twelve *Nistosap Lake - Thirteen *Naosap Lake - Fourteen (source) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nao Lake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
