The Haggart River is a river located in the unorganized part of Kenora District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is part of the huge Hudson Bay drainage basin, which means its waters eventually flow into Hudson Bay. The Haggart River is a smaller stream that flows into the Gammon River.
This river is special because it runs entirely within Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. This park is a protected area known for its wild nature and beautiful landscapes.

River's Journey
The Haggart River starts its journey from a small, unnamed creek. From there, it flows north, passing through several unnamed lakes.
Flowing Through Lakes
As it continues north, the river reaches the southern end of Haggart Lake. After leaving Haggart Lake, it flows into Bulging Lake. The river then travels through more unnamed lakes.
Reaching its End
Finally, the Haggart River reaches its mouth at Carroll Lake. Here, it joins the larger Gammon River.
Water's Path to Hudson Bay
The water from the Haggart River has a long journey to the sea. After joining the Gammon River, the water flows into the Bloodvein River.
Connecting to Major Waterways
The Bloodvein River then empties into Lake Winnipeg, one of the largest lakes in Canada. From Lake Winnipeg, the water continues its path through the Nelson River.
Into the Bay
The Nelson River is a very long river that eventually flows into Hudson Bay. This entire system of rivers and lakes, from the Haggart River all the way to Hudson Bay, is known as the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
