River course
The river has its origin in Paudash Lake , which it leaves at Paudash Lake Dam in a southeast direction. He crosses Highway 28 . He later turns to the southwest. It flows through a 230 m long, 30 m high and 5-10 m wide gorge in The Gut Conservation Area . Then the Green River flows into the Crowe River from the left. The river flows through Tangamong Lake , takes the left tributary Copeway Creek , flows through Mud Turtle Lake and reaches Cordova Lake , which is dammed by Cordova Lake Dam . Now he reaches Belmont Lake , into which the North River also flows. It leaves the lake at Crowe River Bay in the east via Belmont Dam and reaches nearby Crowe Lake . The Beaver Creek also flows into this . The Crowe River passes Marmora , Highway 7 and the Marmora Dam . It continues to flow in a south-westerly direction and reaches Callaghan's Rapids Conservation Area . Now the Crowe River is in the Trent Hills parish in Northumberland County. It passes the Allan Mills Dam , the Crowe Bridge Conservation Area and meets the Trent River at Crowe Bay , above the Crowe Bay lock and dam.
Catchment area
The northern part of the catchment area is sparsely populated and belongs to the Canadian Shield . At Marmora the Crowe River meets the limestone plain of the Great Lakes . The Canadian Shield is exposed through the limestone near Allan Mills and Crowe Bridge . The catchment area of the Crowe River covers about 2000 km².
economy
In the past the river was used to raft tree trunks to the sawmills at Marmora. Several small hydropower plants are located along the Crowe River. The rapids on the limestone steps in Callaghan's Rapids and Crowe Bridge Conservation Areas are popular spots for kayakers in the spring and swimmers in the summer months.
