Tributary of Lake Superior in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada
the township named after this river

The White River (French: rivière White) is a tributary of Lake Superior in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada. It starts at Negwazu Lake and flows in a predominantly western direction to Lake Superior, passing through the Township of White River. The White River has many stretches of whitewater and four waterfalls with some difficult portages, making the river suitable for advanced canoeists. The lower part of the river has occasional oxbows and meanders. Depew, and Oskabukuta Rivers. The river contains a diversity of fish species, including healthy walleye populations.

Several sections of the river are protected in parks and reserves. The Pokei Lake/White River Wetlands Provincial Park is about southeast of the town of White River. This non operating park includes a very large inland riparian wetland system of various types, that form flood plains along roughly of the White River. Directly south of the White Lake outlet, the river flows briefly through the White Lake Forest Reserve. Then follows the White Lake Provincial Park Addition, which protects a long stretch of the lower White River, from Brothers geographic township to the boundary of Pukaskwa National Park. This wide natural corridor on both sides of the river was added to the pre existing provincial park in 2006 to protect a notable canoe route, used by Aboriginal people and recorded in 1827 as the "Wabista or White River– navigable for small canoes". The White River in this section flows through 16 landform vegetation combinations, and drops or about four metres per kilometre.
