The Gull River is a river in Thunder Bay District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.[2][3] The river is in the Great Lakes Basin and is a tributary of Lake Nipigon.
The river is a cold water system, with a number of rapids and waterfalls. The lower 24 km (15 mi) and upper reaches of the river consist of sandy, meandering portions, with numerous loops and oxbow lakes. Its middle section is in a morainal-dominated valley with narrow straight channels where whitewater sections flow over bedrock.[4]
The Gull River is a documented canoe route, linking interior lakes such as Garden and Mooseland Lakes to Lake Nipigon. From Garden Lake Road (Highway 811) to Highway 527, the route is about 100 kilometres (62 mi) long, taking between 5 and 8 days. There are 15 documented portages and few campsites, which are not signed and see little to no maintenance. It is only recommended for experienced paddlers with whitewater skills.[4]
