The narrows of the Nipigon River under the Suspension Bridge on Hwy 11 & 17 is less than 100 ft across constricting the largest tributary of Lake Superior's 19,000 cf/s of water to a noticable current. If you have ever driven a 16 ft boat through there you get the idea very quickly when you feel the whirl pools pulling downward on your hull.

 

The Ontario Power Generation site for the Alexander dam shows the monthly flow rates for the Nipigon River. The summer flow rate is 560 cms or 19,000 cf/s.

This is the equivalent of filling an Olympic sized swimming pool is 4.5 seconds.
