River Description
Dropping through the Gogebic Range only six or so miles to the west of it's better known
tributary, the Brunsweiler, the
Marengo has a larger watershed and may serve as a good alternative should the Brunsweiler be a
little low. The rating is an educated guess as I have no concrete data at this time. Some of the
lower gradient water could be eliminated by locating a put-in off Marengo River Rd (located just
east of the bridge) about 1.6 miles from Town Hall Rd and a take-out at the end of Stienstra Rd
(located about a quarter mile south of the bridge on Four Corner). This would yield a run of 8.2
miles with an average gradient of 31'/mile.
Note that on the Topo map, the portion of the Marengo immediately downstream of the put-in is
mislabeled as Hawkens Creek.
