The Little White River is a river found in Ontario, Canada. It flows through the northern part of the Algoma District. This river is part of the huge Great Lakes Basin. This means its waters eventually reach the Great Lakes. The Little White River is a branch that flows into the Mississagi River.
Where the River Flows
The Little White River starts in an unnamed lake. This lake is located in Fabbro Township. From there, the river flows mostly towards the southwest. It passes through a place called Sixpack Lake.
The river then goes under Ontario Highway 546. This highway actually follows the river's path for a while. As it flows, the Little White River collects water from smaller rivers. The Sister River joins it from the left side. The Kindiogami River joins it from the right side.
The river winds back and forth under the highway. It continues its journey southwest. More rivers join it along the way. The Boland River comes in from the left. The West Little White River adds its waters from the right. Finally, the Little White River passes under Ontario Highway 554. It then reaches its end, flowing into the Mississagi River. This meeting point is in Wells Township. The Mississagi River then flows into the North Channel of Lake Huron.
