Tomahawk River


The Tomahawk River is a river in Wisconsin.
It is the largest tributary of the Wisconsin River in terms of flow. It begins at Tomahawk [Lake (Wisconsin)|Tomahawk Lake] in southern Vilas [County, Wisconsin|Vilas County], flows through Oneida County, and terminates at Lake Mohawksin in Tomahawk. It flows through the Willow Reservoir and Lake [Nokomis, Wisconsin|Lake Nokomis], and Kawaguesaga Lake and Minocqua Lake.
At one time the Tomahawk River was known as the Little Wisconsin River. Historically it was part of the most important north-south travel route in Wisconsin for both Indians and non-Indians.
