Little Ausable river
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Ausable river is a spring-fed stream originating in Usborne Township, Ontario. It is the only stream of any size running through the Township of Lucan Biddulph, a municipality whose watershed feeds the Little Ausable with pasture and field runoff. In the summer months, the Little Ausable's flow is reduced to a trickle; in the winter, its ponds have been home to ice hockey rinks and skating lessons.[1]
It's independence is short-lived, as the Little Ausable intersects its big brother, the Ausable River, just outside of Biddulph Township; here, the two rivers become one as they flow towards Lake Huron.
The Little Ausable river valley north of Lucan, Ontario serves as a tribute to the stream's grander past, and is a noted spot to watch the colours of autumn. The river's longest bridge spans this valley, allowing Highway 4, Ontario to reach Exeter.
