Raisin River (Ontario)

Raisin River (Ontario)

The Raisin River is a river in South Stormont and South Glengarry, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry United Counties in eastern Ontario, Canada, with the watershed encompassing portions of North Stormont, North Glengarry and the city of Cornwall as well. It empties into Lake Saint Francis on the Saint Lawrence River near the community of Lancaster.

The river's name is an anglicised form of the earlier French settler name "la rivière aux Raisins", which referred to the wild grapes (raisins in French) that can still be found growing along the shores of the river.
