It flows through the Downriver section of Metro Detroit, and is a tributary of the Detroit River. The early French settlers named it the "Rivière aux Écorces" ("bark river"). The river was given this name because of a custom, of the local Native American tribe, of wrapping its dead in birch or elm bark, and burying them at the mouth of the river. The river has two branches, which meet at Council Point Park in the city of Lincoln Park, where Pontiac once held a council in 1763 before attacking Fort Detroit.
