Algonquin Park headwaters · Georgian Bay watershed

Wilderness paddling river flowing 175 km from Algonquin Provincial Park west to Georgian Bay near Britt. Class I\u2013III rapids interspersed with quiet lake-like sections, with several portages around major drops. Highly flow-dependent: optimal paddling typically late May through early July; often too low for clean lines by August, dangerous in peak spring runoff. Check the WSC gauge before committing to a multi-day trip. WSC gauge: MAGNETAWAN RIVER NEAR BRITT (02EA011).
