About this river

Little Wolf River

The Little Wolf River is a 60-mile-long tributary of the Wolf River in northeastern Wisconsin. It was once a major transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. The river is fed by numerous springs and streams and is known for its clear water and diverse aquatic life. The Little Wolf River has several reservoirs and dams, including the Manawa Dam, which creates the 1,700-acre Manawa Millpond, a popular recreational area for fishing and boating. The river is also used for agriculture, with several farms located along its banks. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and hiking in the surrounding forests and parks. Despite some human impact, the Little Wolf River continues to provide a vital habitat for wildlife and a source of recreation for visitors.
