Burnt River (Ontario)

Burnt River (Ontario)

The Burnt River is a river which flows from its source in Haliburton County, Ontario southerly into the Kawartha Lakes region. It empties into Cameron Lake, which is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. The town of Burnt River is located near its southern end.

The river was used to transport lumber to sawmills downstream. Later, the Victoria Railway was built along the river. The old railway bed is now a recreational trail.

The river was given its name after a forest fire in the region left the river's water with an unusual colour.

Tributaries of this river include the:
*Drag River
*Irondale River
