The Wolf River is a premier 225-mile waterway flowing through eight counties in northeastern Wisconsin, making it one of the state's most diverse and celebrated fisheries. Originating at Pine Lake in southern Forest County, the river winds south through Forest, Langlade, Menominee, Oneida, Outagamie, Shawano, Waupaca, and Winnebago Counties before entering Lake Poygan and ultimately joining the Fox River. As one of only two National Scenic Rivers in Wisconsin, the Wolf offers exceptional angling opportunities ranging from wild trout fishing in its upper sections to trophy walleye and white bass runs in the lower reaches. The river's wide, boulder-strewn character features a rapid gradient in many locations, creating diverse habitats that support everything from coldwater trout to warmwater gamefish. The watershed is approximately 95 percent wooded and wild, with the upper river classified as Outstanding Resource Water in Langlade County.
