Carp River (Ontario)

Carp River (Ontario)

There are two Carp Rivers in the province of Ontario, Canada:

The Carp River in the city of Ottawa flows north from Kanata to empty into the Ottawa River at Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario. It is 42 km in length. It passes through the town of Carp. The river took its name from the sucker fish, called "carpes à cochon" by the French, found in the river. The watershed is administered by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.

In the spring there is enough run-off water from melting ice that the Carp River becomes a whitewater paddling site. The put-in is beside a bridge (crossing the river) on Carp Road between Kinburn Side Road and Galetta Side Road. The whitewater is class 2 to 3 and excellent for kayaking and canoeing.

The Carp River in the Algoma District empties into Batchawana Bay on northeastern Lake Superior.
