The Rouge River (Rivière Rouge) winds through one of the least urbanized watersheds in the Toronto region, emptying into Lake Ontario and supporting a surprisingly diverse fish community that ranges from coldwater specialists in the upper reaches to warmwater species throughout the lower and middle sections. The river flows through Rouge National Urban Park near its mouth, offering anglers a rare urban wilderness experience with marshes, riffles, and deeper pools that attract both resident and migratory fish throughout the year. The upper third of the watershed remains the most ecologically diverse portion, harboring sensitive coldwater species alongside warmwater fish, while the middle and lower reaches transition to predominantly warmwater habitat as the river broadens and slows toward Lake Ontario.
