On Rifle River

The Rifle River is a 60.3-mile river in northeastern Lower Michigan. It rises in northeastern Ogemaw County and flows through Arenac County to Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. Its basin covers 385 square miles, and the river passes Selkirk and Omer. During Michigan's forestry boom around the turn of the 20th century it was used as a logging river. Today it is used mainly for recreation and is a state-designated natural river. The river has no dams or portages. Its average depth is 18 inches, reaching about 5 feet in downtown Omer.
