Burnt River (Ontario)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Burnt River is a river in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario which flows from its source in Haliburton County to empty into Cameron Lake, which is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway.
The river was used to transport lumber to sawmills downstream. Later, the Victoria Railway was built along the river. The old railway bed is now a recreational trail.
The river was given its name after a forest fire in the region left the river's water with an unusual colour.
Tributaries of this river include the:
- Drag River
- Irondale River
