The French fur trader <a href="/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Br%C3%BBl%C3%A9" title="Étienne Brûlé">Étienne Brûlé</a> was the first European to visit the lake in 1610. <a href="/wiki/Jean_Nicolet" title="Jean Nicolet">Jean Nicolet</a>, another French trader and explorer had a "cabin and trading-house" for eight or nine years living among the Indigenous people on the shores of Lake Nipissing until 1633 when he was recalled to Quebec to become Commissary and Indian Interpreter for the "Company of the Hundred Associates." In a map dated 1776, the lake is still referred to with its French name "<i>Lac des Sorcières</i>". </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American Revolutionary War</a>, Lake Nipissing was proposed as the boundary in the instructions of the <a href="/wiki/Continental_Congress" title="Continental Congress">Continental Congress</a> to <a href="/wiki/John_Adams" title="John Adams">John Adams</a>, the Commissioner appointed to negotiate a treaty of peace with Great Britain.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first permanent European settlement on the lake dates from around 1874 with a trading post of the <a href="/wiki/Hudson%27s_Bay_Company" title="Hudson's Bay Company">Hudson's Bay Company</a> on the northwest corner in what is now Sturgeon Falls. In 1882 the <a href="/wiki/North-West_Mounted_Police" title="North-West Mounted Police">North-West Mounted Police</a> established their presence on the north east shore. </p><p>The lake contains over 40 different species of fish.

For various reasons, largely social, numerous <a href="/wiki/Aquaculture" title="Aquaculture">stocking</a> associations are engaged in attempts to manage the lake's walleye population. </p><p>In the days of <a href="/wiki/North_American_fur_trade" title="North American fur trade">fur trade</a>, <a href="/wiki/Coureur_des_bois" title="Coureur des bois">coureur des bois</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Voyageurs" title="Voyageurs">voyageurs</a> travelled through the lake by <a href="/wiki/Canoe" title="Canoe">canoe</a> via the <a href="/wiki/Mattawa_River" title="Mattawa River">Mattawa</a> and French rivers.
