 The Battles of the River Raisin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The local militia on the River Raisin were expecting an Indian attack.  They were shocked when a British officer arrived on August 17 with news of the surrender of Detroit and with orders from General Hull for them to surrender.  After a brief British occupation, the settlement's fortified blockhouse was burned and the British left. 
The River Raisin was liberated on September 27, 1813, when Colonel Richard M. Johnson's Kentucky cavalry, led by men from the River Raisin, rode into the settlement.  Moving on, the Kentuckians quickly pushed the British and Indians deep into Canada and decisively defeated them at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. 
Although the British and hostile Indians could not return, destruction was so severe that the River Raisin settlement remained destroyed and impoverished for five years after the battles.

 Maine, Apr 00
Sixteen miles of the 22-mile ride were idyllic, including a picnic lunch on the banks of the river, a rest stop at a beautiful park with fish hatcheries, and a short detour into the picturesque town of Confluence.
But the river road, once we were on it, was disappointing because it was often too far from the banks, and views of the St. Lawrence were infrequent.
The river view campsites were densely crowded and noisy, so we opted for the quieter, more spacious sites back up on the hill with the mosquitoes.

 Hydrology and Water Quality of the Raisin River: Overview of Impacts of Recent Land and Channel Changes in Eastern ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Recent land and channel changes on the Raisin River watershed in eastern Ontario altered the hydrological processes of the water cycle in a context of climate fluctuations.
Land transformations were intended to solve those problems and were relatively successful, though in accelerating the flow of land water toward the stream, the water balance was modified, which in turn changed the water quality dynamics.
Surface hydrology and water quality of the Raisin River as they appear today are in part the result of past land transformations.
