Little Wolf River
The Little Wolf River of Wisconsin is a tributary of the Wolf River, which ultimately flows toward Green Bay, part of Lake Michigan.[1]
Course
[edit]The Little Wolf River originates near Galloway in southeast Marathon County and flows into Waupaca County through Big Falls and Manawa and has a dam. Below Manawa the Little Wolf River passes by Royalton then converges into the Wolf River in eastern Waupaca County.
The flood
[edit]On July 5, 2024, the Little Wolf River flooded, putting the structural integrity of the Manawa Dam at risk. [2] The river overtopped the dam, causing the city of Manawa to be flooded and evacuated.[3]
