The Drag River is a cool river located in Ontario, Canada. It flows through two areas called Minden Hills and Dysart et al in Haliburton County. This river is part of a much bigger water system called the Great Lakes Basin. It's also a smaller river that flows into the Burnt River.
Where the River Flows
The Drag River starts its journey from a small, unnamed lake. It then flows west through several lakes. These lakes include Drag Lake, Head Lake, and Grass Lake. After that, the river turns south. It continues its path through Kashagawigamog Lake.
The river finally reaches its end, or mouth, at the Burnt River. This meeting point is about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) south of a small community called Gelert. The Burnt River then flows into the Kawartha Lakes. From there, its waters join the Trent River. Eventually, all these waters make their way to Lake Ontario.
