Amable du Fond River
The Amable du Fond River is a river in eastern Ontario which flows from Pipe Lake through Kawawaymog, North Tea , Manitou and Kioshkokwi Lakes in northwestern Algonquin Park to join the Mattawa River at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park . It is 84 km in length.
The river is named after a native hunter and trapper who lived in this area in the mid 19th century. At one time, the river was used to transport logs downstream to the Mattawa River. A timber slide was built to bypass the rapids at the Eau Claire gorge.
