It is long〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 1, 2012〕 and drains approximately in a forested region. For most of its length, the river's course defines a portion of the Wisconsin–Michigan border. The Ojibwe name for the river is ''Gaa-waasijiwaang'', meaning "where there is whitewater".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ojibwe Dictionary )〕 The Montreal River issues from Pine Lake in the town of Oma in eastern Iron County in northern Wisconsin. It flows initially northwardly to the boundary between Iron County and Gogebic County, Michigan, then northwestwardly along the state line, past the 'twin cities' of Hurley, Wisconsin and Ironwood, Michigan. Downstream of Ironwood the river passes over Saxon Falls and Superior Falls and enters Oronto Bay on the southwestern shore of Lake Superior, approximately northwest of Ironwood, at Michigan's westernmost point. There are four named waterfalls on the Montreal River. Starting below U.S. Route 2 and going downstream (north), they are Peterson Falls, Interstate Falls, Saxon Falls, and Superior Falls.〔Geographic Names Information System.
