River systemSaint Lawrence River drainage basin

The Larder River is a river in Timiskaming District, in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, and flows from its source at Larder Lake in geographic McFadden Township to its mouth as a left tributary of the Blanche River in the municipal township of Evanturel.

The section of river from Raven Lake to Upper Wendigo Lake runs through a northeasterly-oriented geologic fault system, with mafic metavolcanic bedrock to the west and sedimentary and volcanic rock to the east. The Larder River has many wild rapids, making it suitable for experienced whitewater canoeists.[5]
