Old Woman River
The river follows a fault which became a spillway for glacial meltwater following the last ice age.
Towering cliffs along the bay have been home to peregrine falcons.
The name for the bay and river come from a rock formation near the river's mouth that resembles the face of an old woman. The river's mouth is located at 47.789743°N 84.895672°W
