Barron River (Ontario)
The Barron River is a river in northern Algonquin Park in eastern Ontario, the southern branch of the Petawawa River. The river flows from Stratton Lake near the Achray campground and joins the Petawawa near Petawawa, Ontario.
Approximately 10,000 years ago, this river was a main outlet for glacial meltwater in this region. The dramatic 100 metre deep Barron Canyon was formed during that time. A popular canoe route passes through the canyon. A hiking trail leads to the edge of the canyon; caution should be exercised since there is no fence.
Waterfalls on the river include
- Brigham Chute
- High Falls
