About the michigan river
The Michigan River is a 49-mile-long river located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The river was historically used for logging, and several sawmills were established along its banks in the late 1800s. The Michigan River is fed by several tributaries, including the Sturgeon River and the East Branch of the Ontonagon River. There are several dams on the Michigan River, including the Bond Falls Dam, which creates Bond Falls Reservoir, a popular recreational area for fishing, kayaking, and picnicking. The river is also used for hydroelectric power generation, with several power plants located along its length. The Michigan River is an important source of irrigation for agriculture in the region, and several farms are located along its banks. Overall, the Michigan River is an important natural resource for the Upper Peninsula and plays a significant role in the region's history, economy, and recreational opportunities.
