All About the Poplar River

The Poplar River is an important waterway in the northern part of Kenora District. This district is located in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The river is part of a larger network of rivers that drain into Hudson Bay. This means all the water from the Poplar River eventually makes its way to the bay.

Where the River Starts

The Poplar River begins its journey in a lake that doesn't have a specific name. This lake is its "source." From this starting point, the river flows in different directions.

The River's Path

After leaving its source lake, the Poplar River first flows towards the northeast. Then, it turns and heads north. Finally, it travels towards the northwest. Its journey ends when it reaches its "mouth" and joins the Fawn River.

Journey to Hudson Bay

The Fawn River, which the Poplar River flows into, continues its path. The Fawn River then joins the Severn River. The Severn River is a much larger river that eventually empties into Hudson Bay. So, the water from the Poplar River travels a long way through several rivers before reaching the vast waters of Hudson Bay.
