Kewaunee River
The Kewaunee River is a 62-mile-long river in northeastern Wisconsin that flows into Lake Michigan. The river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation, and later by European settlers for logging and agriculture. The river's hydrology is influenced by the surrounding landscape, which includes farmland and wooded areas. There are two main reservoirs on the river, the Bruemmer Park Reservoir and the Kewaunee Power Station Reservoir. The Kewaunee Power Station, now decommissioned, was a controversial dam that impacted the river's ecosystem. Recreational activities on the river include fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Agriculture is also an important use of the river basin, with crops such as corn and soybeans grown in the area.
