Natural Features

This protected waterway originates on the Algonquin Dome and extends from Algonquin Provincial Park's western boundary to Arrowhead Provincial Park. The park features significant sand deposits, which may be exposures of the ancient Algonquin Lake Delta. Spectacular sandy bluffs and numerous oxbows are to be found along the river. Several species of rare flora and fauna have been documented in the park.
