About the tahquamenon river
The Tahquamenon River is a 94-mile-long river in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that flows into Lake Superior. The river is named after the Tahquamenon Falls, a series of waterfalls along the river's course. The river has a rich history, and it was once an important transportation route for Native Americans and French fur traders.
The Tahquamenon River is known for its clear water and diverse wildlife, including trout, salmon, and bald eagles. The river's hydrology is influenced by several reservoirs and dams, including the Lower Tahquamenon Dam, which was built in 1913 to provide hydroelectric power to the local community.
Today, the river is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, canoeing, and hiking. It is also used for some agricultural purposes, such as irrigation. The river is an important part of Michigan's natural heritage and continues to be a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
