Welcome to White River, a progressive and vibrant community located midway between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. Set amongst a stunning landscape of lush boreal forest, and abundant freshwater lakes and rivers, White River boasts rugged beauty and a hearty climate, where wildlife and adventure abound.

Perhaps best known as the birthplace of "Winnie-the-Pooh", White River holds an annual festival commemorating the bear cub who became the inspiration of author A.A. Milne. Learn the true story of the real Winnie.

Witness this feat of engineering at Lock 44 of the Trent-Severn Waterway. It works on an inclined plane to carry boats in individual cradles over a change of height of about 60 feet (18 m). This is one of only two marine railways in the world (the other is in Russia). There are large grounds for picnicking.

A beautiful little rest stop with picnic tables by the lakeshore shaded by tall cedars and balsams. Look next to the boat launch, and you will find a bronze plaque erected in honour of a special Swedish Canadian woman, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence.

A quick stop for snacks and travel goods.
