The West Little White River flows 47 km above the mouth from the north, after leaving Endikai Lake 500 m further north , into the Little White River. The Ontario Highway 554 crosses the river 7 km above the mouth . This finally reaches the Mississagi River 22 km northeast of the small town of Thessalon , located on the north bank of the North Channel (Huron Sea) .
