Wisconsin River
The
Wisconsin River is a tributary of the
Mississippi. It runs 430 miles approximately southwest through the state of
Wisconsin, originating at Lac Vieux Desert near the border of the upper peninsula of
Michigan and joining the Mississippi at
Prairie du Chien. It is navigable up to
Portage, Wisconsin, 200 miles from its mouth, where it is separated from the
Fox River by only 2 miles.
The Wisconsin is dammed in 26 places for hydroelectric power and has been called The Hardest Working River in America.
