Geography
The French River flows through typical Canadian Shield country, in many places exposing rugged glaciated rock but also through heavily forested areas on the upper portion. The mouth of the river forms an extensive delta, containing countless islands and numerous channels which vary from narrow, enclosed steep-walled gorges, falls and rapids, to broad expanses of open water.
Tributaries of this river include the:
- Wanapitei River
- Pillow River
- Murdock River
- Wolseley River
- Little French River
- Pickerel River
- Restoule River
- Hall River
