Where the Brule River Flows
The Brule River starts at Brule Lake. This lake is just inside the Michigan border. From there, the river flows generally east and then southeast. It eventually joins with the Michigamme River. When these two rivers meet, they form the Menominee River. The Menominee River then flows into Lake Michigan.
Fun on the Brule River
The Brule River is a great place for outdoor activities. Many people enjoy canoeing on its waters. You can canoe for about 45 miles (72 kilometers) along the river. There are several places where you can start or stop your trip. The river's water level is usually very steady. This is because it is mostly "untouched" by human changes. There is only one dam on the river. This dam is located near the end of the Brule River.
Fishing in the Brule
Fishing is also very popular on the Brule River. The river is home to many types of fish. You can find different kinds of trout, like brook trout and brown trout. These are often found in the upper parts of the river. In the lower sections, you might catch smallmouth bass and northern pike.
Public Lands and Camping
Much of the land along both sides of the Brule River is owned by the public. This means it is open for everyone to enjoy. There are several good spots for camping along the river. This makes it easy for people to spend time outdoors. They can enjoy fishing, canoeing, and exploring nature.
