French River Trails and Routes

 

The French River links Lake Nipissing with Georgian Bay through a 105-kilometre span of interconnecting lakes, gorges and rapids that provide a variety of water routes, scenery and exceptional recreational water activities.  In addition to the picturesque river, the region has over 150 kms of rugged Georgian Bay shoreline and islands and four provincial parks.
