Humber River

The Humber River is a significant waterway in Toronto, Canada, spanning approximately 100 kilometers. It is part of the Great Lakes Basin, flowing from its headwaters in the upland areas of Halton and Peel regions into Lake Ontario. The river passes through urban, suburban, and natural areas, supporting diverse ecosystems and offering recreational opportunities like boating and fishing. Historically, it played an important role for Indigenous peoples and European settlers. Today, the Humber River is valued for its environmental importance, scenic landscapes, and as a natural green corridor within the Toronto metropolitan area.
