The Morell River is a north-flowing waterway in eastern Prince Edward Island that empties into St. Peter's Bay. The river offers two distinct paddling characters: an upper section that is narrow, occasionally fast-running, and more technical, and a lower section near the town of Morell that is flat, calm, and open. The total navigable distance commonly paddled runs approximately 17 kilometres, with a typical trip taking around two to three hours.

The most popular put-in options include Leard's Pond (Leard's Mill) near Riverton, the bridge on Highway 320, and Indian Bridge Road. The primary take-out is at Leo Rossiter Waterfront Park in the town of Morell, which provides easy vehicle access. From Morell, paddlers can also continue downstream toward St. Peter's Bay and paddle under the Confederation Trail Bridge, and more adventurous paddlers can cross the bay to reach Greenwich National Park with its notable sand dunes.

The upper river section warrants caution, as downed branches can choke the channel — carrying a folding saw is recommended for that stretch. In summer months, the upper river runs quite shallow, making paddling impractical; the full upper run is best suited to spring or after heavy autumn rains. The lower section near Morell remains accessible through summer.

Wildlife sightings along the river include bald eagles, and the forested corridor provides a natural setting throughout the paddle. The river is also well known for fly fishing, particularly for sea-run Brook Trout in spring, so paddlers may encounter anglers, especially in the upper reaches. A non-resident fishing licence is required for anyone wishing to combine paddling with fishing.

Kayak rentals and shuttle services have been available in Morell through local outfitters, with shuttles running from the town up to put-in points so paddlers can run the river downstream. The Grant's Bridge to Indian Bridge Road stretch is noted as a viable option for those wanting to paddle and fish simultaneously, though summer shallowness applies here as well.
