The Sturgeon River is a 106-mile-long river that flows through northern Michigan. It starts in the northeastern part of the state and flows southwest into the Cheboygan River. The river has played a significant role in the region's history, having been used by Native Americans and early settlers for transportation and trade. Today, the river's hydrology is impacted by two major reservoirs, the Burt Lake Reservoir and the Mullett Lake Reservoir, which were created by dams built in the late 1800s. These reservoirs are used for hydroelectric power generation and also provide recreational opportunities for boating and fishing. The Sturgeon River and its tributaries also support agricultural activities such as cattle grazing and hay production.
