The Roslyn River is a cool river located in the Thunder Bay District of northwestern Ontario, Canada. It's part of the huge Great Lakes Basin, which means its water eventually flows into the Great Lakes. This river is also a right tributary of the Namewaminikan River, meaning it flows into the Namewaminikan from the right side.
Where Does the Roslyn River Flow?
The Roslyn River starts its journey at an unnamed lake. From there, it flows north into a place called Upper Roslyn Lake. Along the way, three smaller creeks join the river, adding to its flow.
The river then continues its path north. It passes through a narrow spot known as the Rightwheel Narrows. After this, it reaches Roslyn Lake, where another creek, Drape Creek, joins it from the right side.
Finally, the Roslyn River turns northwest. It reaches its end at Gathering Lake, where it meets the Namewaminikan River. The water from the Namewaminikan River then travels through Lake Nipigon and the Nipigon River before reaching the massive Lake Superior.
