The Credit River runs through the city of Mississauga and flows south into Lake Ontario. It begins near Orangeville and travels about 90 kilometers before reaching the lake. The river gets its name from early fur trade practices, when traders extended goods on credit to the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, it’s a well-known natural area with trails, parks and wildlife.
