The Fawn River is a river in the north of the Unorganized Part of Kenora District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1] It is in the Hudson Bay drainage basin and is a right tributary of the Severn River. The Severn/Fawn basin is one of the last few remaining undammed and unregulated watersheds south of the 55th parallel in North America.[2]
