Allanwater Bridge railway station is located just north of Kawaweogama Lake in the Canadian province of Ontario, directly west of where the railway line crosses the river Allan Water over a truss bridge. This station is served by Via Rail. Transcontinental Canadian trains stop here under Via Rail's Special Stop Request program.
There is no permanent settlement at Allan Water; however, the station serves a number of recreational properties and wilderness lodges, and as an access point to Wabakimi Provincial Park. The area was also formerly home to the Allanwater (or Allan Water) trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, that operated from 1918 to 1935,[1] with a small Anglican church dedicated to St. Barnabas.
