Course

The Fall River is fed from Sharbot Lake in Central Frontenac, Frontenac County and numerous springs, and it meanders along the Trans Canada Trail. It passes into Tay Valley, Lanark County and flows through the community of Maberly; fills the 20 km of Bennett Lake; flows by the community of Fallbrook; and about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from its origin, reaches its mouth at the Mississippi River.

Ecology

The river is bordered by forest and is home to fish, turtles, Blue Herons, beaver and otters
