French River, is an ancient river system flowing some 60 miles from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay.  It is one of the free flowing rivers that existed prior to continental glaciation and is an excellent representative of this area of the Cambrian Shield.  The Ice Age glaciers sculptured this dramatic landscape of pink granite cliffs, ridges and shoals, creating the French River Delta's thousands of islands opening to the Georgian Bay.

Bear's Den access extends from Recollect Falls located just west of Highway 69 to and including the series of channels that flow into Georgian Bay.  The French River Delta is the least developed and wildest portion of the River.  Among its most interesting features to fishermen are the many lakes and bays, the confluence of the French and Pickerel Rivers, the Wahnapitae and Pillow Rivers, the Georgian Bay shoreline and the Bustard Islands.  This limited access area contains thousands of miles of wilderness shoreline.
