The Tomifobia River is beautiful and flows just under 11 kilometres through Quebec's Eastern Townships, through a largely protected Green Zone, before draining into Lake Massawippi and ultimately into the Saint Lawrence. Its Algonquian name reflects its history as a travel route for Abenaki peoples, and its valley was later settled by United Empire Loyalists, leading to the development of mill villages along its banks in the early 19th century. Today it's an important ecological corridor, home to trout, Atlantic salmon, the endangered wood turtle, bald eagles, and river otters, and is a popular spot for fishing, canoeing, and birdwatching.
