Yellow River (Chippewa River)

Yellow River (Chippewa River)

The Yellow River is a tributary located in north central Wisconsin. Conducive of the Chippewa River, it is one of four distinct rivers in the state bearing the name Yellow River.

This Yellow River begins in Kitric Swamp near Perkinstown, Wisconsin, in Chequamegon National Forest. The river runs a short way before it forms two reservoirs, the Chequamegon Waters Flowage and the Miller Dam Flowage, separated by an isthmus. Below Miller Dam, there is one more dam, at Cadott, forming another small reservoir, before the river joins the Chippewa River when it flows into Lake Wissota at Moon Bay.

Noteworthy settlements along the river include Gilman, and Cadott.
