About this river

Tittabawassee River

The Tittabawassee River is located in Michigan and stretches for 83 miles from its origin at Houghton Lake to its confluence with the Shiawassee River. The river has a rich history of being an important transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. The Tittabawassee River is also known for its hydrology, which has been impacted by the construction of several reservoirs and dams, including the Sanford Dam and the Edenville Dam. These dams have resulted in flooding and environmental issues in the past. Today, the river is primarily used for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking. It also supports agricultural activities in the surrounding areas, including farming and cattle grazing.
