The Partridge River is a tributary of James Bay in the Cochrane District in the northeast of the Canadian province of Ontario .
The Partridge River has its origin in Partridge Lake - just one kilometer west of Kesagami Lake . It flows through the neighboring lakes Niska Lake and Richards Lake and continues its course in a northerly direction through the Canadian Shield . At the confluence with Glaister Creek coming from the east, the Partridge River turns west. The river passes the Kanatotik Rapids and turns north again. Further downstream, the Partridge River splits into two arms, which reunite about 10 km downstream. The enclosed land area is called Blackbear Island . The Partridge River continues to flow north through the James Bay Lowlands . About 10 km before reaching James Bay, the river splits into two main estuary arms, which later split further. The Little Partridge River meets the eastern estuary . The mouth of the Moose River is 10 km to the west. The Partridge River is approximately 150 km in length.
