It rises north-northwest of Woodstock, in the uplands between Lakes Huron and Erie, and flows southwest past the towns of Woodstock, London, and Chatham to Lake Saint Clair. The river is navigable below Chatham. Originally called the La Tranche River, it received its present name in 1792. The Battle of the Thames (1813) was fought at Moraviantown, near Chatham.
The depth of the Thames varies considerably at different points along its course. The river has a depth of only about 5.9 feet at the London Bridge. According to Thames River Trust, the river features 190 small islands that are formed by dividing streams, silt and sedimentary deposits that occur in 18 catchments.
