Crowe River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crowe River is a river in eastern Ontario which flows south from Paudash Lake near Bancroft, through Crowe Lake near Marmora and continues south to join the Trent River north of Campbellford. The river drains an area of about 2,000 km².
At one time, the river was used to transport logs down to sawmills at Marmora. The river powers several small hydroelectric generating stations.
At "The Gut" Conservation Area, the river flows through a steep narrow gorge.
Tributaries include the North River.
The river was named after the Crowe band of the Ojibwa who lived in the area.
