The Fraser River in northern Labrador flows west to east in geological trench.{{cite book|url=http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Library/89967.pdf|title=The Rivers of Labrador |last= Anderson|first= T.

Eastward the rift widens to shallow, brackish ponds where flow reverses with the flush of tide. Salt marshes border the mouth and vast sandy delta littered with boulders stretches to Nain Bay{{cite book | author = Lawrence W.

In 1910, British explorer Hesketh Prichard ascended the river, continuing through Bear Ravine ({{coord|56|41|50.78|N|63|30|27.58|W|region:CA-NL|display=inline}}) to access Indian House Lake on George River.
