Larder River (Ontario)

The Larder River is a river located in the Timiskaming District of northeastern Ontario, Canada. It flows generally southwest from Larder Lake, through a series of smaller lakes and wetlands, before emptying into the Blanche River near the town of Englehart.

The river is part of the James Bay drainage basin. Its watershed is characterized by boreal forest and Precambrian bedrock.

The Larder River played a significant role in the region's history, serving as a transportation route for prospectors and settlers during the early 20th-century gold rush. The area around Larder Lake and the river became a hub for mining activity.

Today, the river is used for recreational activities such as canoeing and fishing. It is also a popular area for hunting and trapping. The river's ecosystem supports a variety of fish species, including walleye, northern pike, and brook trout.
