The Chippewa River has a length of about 60 km. Shortly before its mouth, it overcomes the Chippewa Falls . It finally flows 55 km north of Sault Ste. Marie to Batchawana Bay . The Trans-Canada Highway ( Ontario Highway 17 ) crosses the river near the mouth. The Harmony River runs east of the Chippewa River and the Batchawana River runs west .
The river is considered a good and easily accessible fishing spot. Rainbow trout can be caught here in spring .
