Amable du Fond River
Encyclopedia : A : AM : AMA : Amable du Fond River
The Amable du Fond River is a river in eastern Ontario which flows from Pipe Lake through Kawawaymog, North Tea, Manitou and Kioshkokwi Lakes in northwestern Algonquin Park to join the Mattawa River at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park. It is 84 km in length.
The river is named after a native hunter and trapper who lived in this area in the mid 19th century. At one time, the river was used to transport logs downstream to the Mattawa River. A timber slide was built to bypass the rapids at the Eau Claire Gorge.
