The river flows from the Orangeville Reservoir in the town of Orangeville, Dufferin County, through the Niagara Escarpment[2] and the Minesing Wetlands, the latter a wetland of international significance (Ramsar Convention site), and empties into Nottawasaga Bay, an inlet of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, at the town of Wasaga Beach, Simcoe County. The river takes its name from the Algonquin words for "Iroquois" and "river outlet".{{citation needed|date= May 2014}} WatershedThe Nottawasaga River's headwaters originate in the Niagara Escarpment, Simcoe Uplands, Oak Ridges Moraine and Oro Moraine.[2] The area of the drainage basin is {{convert|3361|km2|sqmi}},[3] and as well as Dufferin County and Simcoe County, is located in Grey County and the Regional Municipality of Peel. HistoryThe Nottawasaga River is the resting home of HMS Nancy, a merchant schooner taken into the Royal Navy during the War of 1812. It met three American warships: USS Niagara, USS Tigress and USS Scorpion. The small ship lost the battle but Lt. Miller Worsley and crew escaped. They rowed 360 miles to Fort Michilimackinac and three days later, Worsley returned with 92 men to take the Tigress and Scorpion. Since her sinking, an island formed around the Nancy. The hull is now preserved in a museum at Nancy Island Historic Site which is a part of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Natural historyFish ladders allow rainbow trout to reach spawning grounds on the upper river. The river is under the auspices of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority. Tributaries
