Shiawassee River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shiawassee River in the U.S. state of Michigan is approximately 110 miles long and generally flows in a northerly direction. It merges together with the Flint River, the Cass River and the Tittabawassee River to become the Saginaw River which eventually drains into the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron.
It has historical significance as a former trading route for local Indian tribes and sections of the Shiawassee River were used by lumber and grain mills to generate power.
