  French River (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The French River (or Rivière des Français) is a river in central Ontario, Canada.
The river follows the boundary between the Parry Sound District and the Sudbury District, and in most contexts is considered the dividing line between Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario.
Because of the rugged nature of the Canadian Shield country surrounding this river, large parts of this river remain relatively untouched and it is now a popular location for recreational canoeing, kayaking, fishing and boating.

 History of the French River
This river was the main Water Highway to the west in Canada from 1600 to the mid 1800's.
As the name implies, it was the road by which the first traders from settlements on the St. Lawrence River entered the vast domain of Indian tribes who hunted the beaver they sought - and who of course revealed to them this convenient short-cut to Lake Huron.
The French, with its main tributaries in Wanapitei and Pickerel, as well as Lake Nipissing discharging logs into it, ranked among the busiest of these in the fifty year-long pine logging era which followed.
