Description

The Pine River rises in the Hiawatha National Forest east of Trout Lake in Chippewa County. It draws water from a variety of sources, including water sources in the Delirium Wilderness near Raco. The river flows eastward through the national forest, following a bed of sandy wetlands, until it reaches drier ground around Rudyard. The river then turns south and enters Mackinac County. Flowing generally parallel to Interstate 75, the river flows into Lake Huron adjacent to the western terminus of State Highway M-134.[1]
