About the escanaba river


The Escanaba River is a 96-mile-long river that flows through Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with its mouth at Little Bay de Noc in Lake Michigan. The river was named after the Native American word "Eshkonabang" which means "flat rock river." The upper section of the river is known for its wild and scenic beauty, while the lower section is heavily industrialized, with several hydroelectric dams and reservoirs. The largest dam on the river is the 190-foot-high Michigamme Reservoir Dam, which creates the Michigamme Reservoir. The Escanaba River is an important source of hydroelectric power and water for agriculture in the area. It is also a popular destination for fishing, kayaking, and boating, with several public access points and campgrounds along the river.
