1982 R, F See Sugar River, IL comments. S Flows through forested and farmed watershed. Low to moderate recreational use. Corridor generally well forested. Good recreation potential, but use low.
Fishing is generally average.
Tributary to Namekagon River, a component of National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The name change occurs at the Portage-Waupaca county line rather than at a confluence. The corridor is largely undeveloped, but it does flow through farm lands and woods. The upper reaches support a trout fishery, while the lower reaches support trout and small mouth bass. In addition, many waterfowl and shore birds use the corridor.
