The Gardiner River is a river located in Ontario, Canada. It flows through the Cochrane District in the northeastern part of the province. This river is part of the large James Bay drainage basin, which means its waters eventually flow into James Bay.
About the Gardiner River
The Gardiner River is a "tributary," which is a smaller river that flows into a larger one. It joins the Mattagami River. The Gardiner River is found between the Mattagami River and the Missinaibi River. These two larger rivers eventually meet to form the Moose River, which then flows into James Bay.
Where the River Starts and Ends
The Gardiner River begins where two smaller, unnamed streams meet in an area called Lambert Township. From there, it flows towards the northeast through different parts of the Cochrane District.
The river continues its journey through areas like Gentles Township and McCuaig Township. It then turns and flows east through Mulholland Township. Finally, it reaches Gardiner Township, where it flows into the Mattagami River.
