About the Seal River
The Seal River is a natural waterway in a beautiful part of Canada. It helps carry water from the land to larger bodies of water. Rivers like the Seal River are vital for the environment. They provide homes for animals and plants.
Where Does It Flow?
The journey of the Seal River starts at an unnamed lake. From there, it flows north. Along its path, the river passes through a lake called Seal Lake. It keeps heading north until it reaches its end.
The Seal River joins the Kesagami River. This meeting point is just a short distance downstream from where the Little Seal River also meets the Kesagami.
River's Journey to the Sea
Once the Seal River's water joins the Kesagami River, its journey continues. The Kesagami River then flows into the Harricana River. Finally, the Harricana River empties into James Bay. James Bay is a large body of water connected to the Arctic Ocean. This entire system is known as the James Bay drainage basin. It means all the water in this area eventually flows into James Bay.
