- For other Yellow Rivers, see Yellow River (disambiguation)
The Yellow River in north central Wisconsin, a Chippewa River tributary, is one of four distinct rivers in the state bearing the name Yellow River. This Yellow River begins in Kitric Swamp near Perkinstown, Wisconsin, in Chequamegon National Forest. The river runs a short way before it forms two reservoirs, the Chequamegon Waters Flowage and the Miller Dam Flowage, separated by an isthmus. Below Miller Dam, there is one more dam, at Cadott, forming another small reservoir, before the river joins the Chippewa River when it flows into Lake Wissota at Moon Bay. Noteworthy settlements along the river include Gilman and Cadott.
