==Location== York Factory is on the north bank of the Hayes River, about {{convert|7|mi|km|0|abbr=off|order=flip}} inland. The mouth of the [[Nelson River]] is to the north, across "Point of Marsh". The Hayes is a more practical canoe route, although the Nelson is much larger, with it draining Lake Winnipeg. Seagoing ships anchored at Five Fathom Hole {{convert|7|mi|km|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} from the fort due to the shallow bottom, and goods were [[lightering|transferred by smaller boats]].The [[Shamattawa Airport]] and [[Gillam Airport]] are nearby today.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shamattawafirstnation.com/ |title=About Us |access-date=8 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160116105025/http://shamattawafirstnation.com/ |archive-date=16 January 2016 }}</ref>
