Named for the Ojibway word meaning "where the fish spawn," the Amnicon River is in northeast Wisconsin, where it meanders for 30 miles from its headwaters in boggy forests to the southern shore of Lake Superior. The rich chocolate brown color of the river, often referred to as "root beer brown," is not from mud or sand suspended in the water, nor is it from pollution. Rather, as the river flows along its flora-rich path, tannins from all sorts of vegetation seep into the water. Satellite imagery of the river's terminus at Lake Superior show the river delta and the mixing of the waters quite clearly, as the brown of the Amnicon contrasts sharply with the deep blues and greens of the Lake.
