Named for the English river, it rises in the LONG RANGE MOUNTAINS west of White Bay and flows southeast and then southwest to Deer Lake, where it is joined by a tributary draining the 100-km-long GRAND LAKE.

 Aboriginal Peoples: The Mi'kmaq: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
Newfoundland Mi'kmaq oral tradition holds that the Mi'kmaq were living in Newfoundland prior to European contact.

Although the Conne River Mi'kmaq have yet to have their land claims accepted by the federal or provincial government, the community has become a model of aboriginal enterprise, including, among others, a flourishing aquaculture programme, hunting and fishing lodges, and a logging operation.
