Little AuSable River
Encyclopedia
The Little AuSable river is a spring-fed stream originating in Huron County
, Ontario
. It is the only stream of any size running through the township of Lucan Biddulph
, a municipality whose watershed feeds the Little AuSable with pasture and field runoff. In the summer months, the Little AuSable's flow is reduced to a trickle; in the winter, its ponds have been home to ice hockey rinks and skating lessons.
Little AuSable intersects its big brother, the Ausable, just outside of Biddulph Township; here, the two rivers become one as they flow towards Lake Huron
.
The Little AuSable river valley north of Lucan, Ontario serves as a tribute to the stream's grander past, and is a noted spot to watch the colours of autumn. The river's longest bridge spans this valley, allowing Highway 4
to reach Exeter
