Course
The Forks River begins at Forks Lake in the northwest of the Unorganized West Part of Timiskaming District at an elevation of 351 metres (1,152 ft) and exits east to Lower Forks Lake. Portions of both lakes lie in the northeastern portion of the Unorganized, North Part of Sudbury District, meaning that the Forks River drainage basin is in three Ontario districts. It heads northeast, then north, flows over a small dam, and takes in the left tributary Little Forks Creek arriving from Little Forks Lake. The river turns northwest, then curves back northeast, flows into the city of Timmins in Cochrane District, and reaches its mouth at St. Peter Bay at the southern tip of Night Hawk Lake at an elevation of 274 metres (899 ft).
