Wolf River (Fox River)
The Wolf River, long,〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed December 19, 2011〕 is one of the two National Scenic Rivers in Wisconsin, along with the St. Croix River. The scenic portion is long. 〔(Wolf River at the National Park Service )〕 It rises in the north woods of the state, with the northernmost fork stemming from Pine Lake in Forest County. The river flows south through Langlade and Menominee counties, where whitewater rafting is well known. Menominee County is mostly within the boundaries of the federally recognized Menominee Indian Reservation.
Next the Wolf River flows through Shawano County, where it collects the Red River, passes by the city of Shawano, then flows through Waupaca and Outagamie counties and back into Waupaca County, where it collects the Embarrass River at the city of New London. The final stretch of the Wolf River collects the Little Wolf and the Waupaca rivers just below New London, then passes through Winnebago County, through Lake Poygan and the city of Winneconne to empty into Lake Butte des Morts on the Fox River.
==Environmental concerns==
Environmentalists were concerned about preserving the river when the Crandon mine was proposed near a tributary of the river.〔(Website opposing the Crandon Mine near the Wolf River )〕 The Crandon Mine was purchased by the Sokaogon Mole Lake Chippewa Band tribe in 2003 to prevent development that would adversely affect the river. 〔"New tribal purchase provides further protection against Crandon Mine, Nov. 14, 2006" http://www.alphacdc.com/treaty/victory.html#crandonsagamay2006]〕 The campaign to stop the Crandon Mine on the Wisconsin's Wolf River was the result of successful coalition-building efforts amongst Wisconsin's indigenous groups, environmentalists, and rural citizens.〔Menominee Treaty Rights and Mining Impacts (2000).The book, ''To Slay a Giant'', by John J. Mutter, Jr., was written about the two year struggle to get a mining moratorium passed in the Wisconsin Legislature. "Chronology of Crandon Mine" http://www.alphacdc.com/treaty/crn_chronology.html〕
