On Manistique River
The Manistique River is a 71.2-mile river in Michigan's central Upper Peninsula.

The river drains about 1,461 square miles, including most of Schoolcraft County. Its drainage is flat and sandy, and the river has no rapids or waterfalls. A Michigan DNR description gives depths of 2 to 10 feet. A dam in Manistique, built in 1919, historically kept sea lamprey out of the river above its lowermost reach. More about Manistique River.
