The Lincoln River is a 7.8 mile long river that is formed from the North Branch Lincoln River and South Branch Lincoln River that converge in Section 32 of Victory Township, north of the Fisher Road bridge. The South Branch begins in Section 26 of Sherman Township near the southwest corner of Reek and Dewey roads. The North Branch begins at Round Lake in Sheridan Township.
The Lincoln River watershed includes six lakes, including the 160-acre Lincoln Lake. The river travels through Lincoln Lake and ends at Lake Michigan within Epworth Heights. Lincoln Lake is located within three municipalities including the City of Ludington, Pere Marquette Charter Township and Hamlin Township.
Of the three rivers (and branches) that flow through Mason County, the Lincoln River is the only one that completely originates within the boundaries of Mason County. The Pere Marquette River and Big Sable River -- and their branches -- originate in other counties.
