The Thames River (originally named "Deshkan Ziibi" or Antler River by Indigenous communities) is the second largest river in Southwestern Ontario, flowing 273 kilometres (170 miles) westward through the cities of Woodstock, London, and Chatham before emptying into Lake St. Clair. Part of the Lake St. Clair/Lake Erie basin, the Thames drains a watershed of 5,825 square kilometres (2,249 sq mi) and stands as one of Canada's most southerly rivers. Its position at the northern edge of the Carolinian Zone, combined with its connection to the Great Lakes and a long growing season that drives high nutrient levels, has produced one of the most biologically diverse freshwater fisheries in the country. With 94 recorded fish species and 30 species of freshwater mussel, the Thames offers a true multi-species angling experience that has drawn fishers to its banks for over 11,000 years.
