Journey of the Snake River
The Snake River starts its journey at a place called Lake Doré. This lake is in the North Algona-Wilberforce area. From there, the river flows towards the east.
River's Path
The river goes under Ontario Highway 41. Then, it turns south and passes by the community of Lake Dore. After that, it turns east again.
Marshes and Communities
As it flows, the Snake River meets a smaller stream called Mink Creek. This stream joins the Snake River from the right side. The river then travels through a wetland area known as the Upper Osceola Marsh. It continues its path to the community of Osceola, which is in the Admaston–Bromley area.
The river then heads north through another important wetland called the Snake River Marsh. This marsh is a special place that might become a protected area. Finally, the river flows east through the community of Snake River in the Whitewater Region area. It goes under Ontario Highway 17.
Where the River Ends
The Snake River finishes its journey when it reaches Muskrat Lake. Muskrat Lake is connected to the Muskrat River, which then flows into the larger Ottawa River.
Rivers Joining the Snake River
The Snake River has other smaller streams that flow into it. These are called tributaries.
- Mink Creek (This stream joins the Snake River from the right side.)
