Nottawasaga River
The Nottawasaga River is a river in southern Ontario, Canada. Its headwaters are located on the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine. It flows through the Minesing Swamp, recognized as a wetland of international significance (Ramsar Convention site), and empties into Nottawasaga Bay, an inlet of Georgian Bay, at Wasaga Beach, Ontario.
Fish ladders allow rainbow trout to reach spawning grounds on the upper river.
Tributaries include the:
- Boyne River
- Mad River
- Pine River
- Bear Creek
The river takes its name from the Algonquin words for "Iroquois" and "river outlet".
