Montreal River (Algoma–Sudbury, Ontario)

Mouth of the Montreal River in Lake Superior

The Montreal River is a river in the Canadian province of Ontario.

The Montreal River flows through the two districts of Algoma and Sudbury before it flows into Lake Superior.

River

The river has its source in Lake Montreal Lake near the village of Iceland Lake in the northwest of the Sudbury District. From there it flows in a southwesterly direction in the Algoma District and reaches the 40 km long reservoir above the Montreal case as well as the settlement of Montreal Falls and its railway station on the Algoma Central Railway. The river flows westward, passed the Ontario Highway 17 before it joins with the municipality Montreal River Harbour in Lake Superior.
