Fraser River (Newfoundland and Labrador)
The Fraser River in northern Labrador flows west to east in geological trench. The gorge is narrow and deep. The upper watershed drains to Tasisuak Lake. Eastward the rift widens to shallow, brackish ponds where flow reverses with the flush of tide. Salt marshes border the mouth and vast sandy delta littered with boulders stretches to Nain Bay.
In 1910, British explorer Hesketh Prichard ascended the river, continuing through Bear Ravine to access Indian House Lake on George River.
