On Menominee River
The Menominee River runs about 116 miles through northwestern Michigan and northeastern Wisconsin and drains a rural, forested area of northern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula into Lake Michigan. Its basin covers about 4,070 square miles. The river forms about 10 miles northwest of Iron Mountain, where the Brule and Michigamme rivers meet. Its whole length, together with the Brule, makes up part of the border between the two states. It flows southeast past Kingsford, Michigan, and Niagara, Wisconsin, then turns generally south in broad meanders. Along the way it picks up the Pine, Sturgeon, Pemebonwon and Pike rivers. It enters Green Bay between Marinette, Wisconsin, and Menominee, Michigan. Dams along its course have turned parts of the river into a series of large reservoirs. One is the Quinnesec Falls dam at river mile 94.8, which holds back a 270-acre impoundment and is licensed to Wisconsin Electric Power Company. More about Menominee River.
