River Summary: The Menominee River is a 116-mile-long waterway located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin. Historically, the river played a significant role in the Native American population's economy and culture, which included fishing, hunting, and transportation. The Menominee River is part of the hydrology of the Great Lakes system and is heavily regulated due to the presence of several dams and reservoirs. The largest reservoirs include the Michigamme Reservoir, the Peavy Pond, and the White Rapids Reservoir.
