About the oconto river
The Oconto River is located in northeastern Wisconsin and flows for approximately 56 miles before emptying into Green Bay. The river has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back at least 10,000 years. Today, the river is used for a variety of purposes, including recreation and agriculture. There are several small reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Bond Falls Reservoir and the Gillett Reservoir. These structures provide hydroelectric power, as well as flood control and recreation opportunities. The river is popular for fishing and kayaking, and supports a variety of wildlife, including muskellunge, walleye, and bald eagles. The Oconto River is an important resource for the surrounding communities, and is managed to balance its many uses.
