Sturgeon River is a 40.8-mile-long (65.7 km)[2] river in the U.S. state of Michigan, flowing mostly northward through Otsego and Cheboygan counties.

The Sturgeon River rises in Livingston Township, Otsego County, near the city of Gaylord at 45°01′49″N 84°38′18″W / 45.03028°N 84.63833°W / 45.03028; -84.63833. It flows into Burt Lake in the community of Indian River. A channel formerly flowed into the Indian River at 45°24′47″N 84°36′36″W / 45.41306°N 84.61000°W / 45.41306; -84.61000, but the main course of the river now empties directly into Burt Lake.[3]

The West Branch Sturgeon River rises in southeast Charlevoix County at 45°07′49″N 84°47′55″W / 45.13028°N 84.79861°W / 45.13028; -84.79861 and flows 17.5 miles (28.2 km)[2] to the main stream at 45°16′19″N 84°36′03″W / 45.27194°N 84.60083°W / 45.27194; -84.60083 in Wolverine.[4]

The Little Sturgeon River rises in Cheboygan County northeast of Wolverine at 45°17′55″N 84°33′37″W / 45.29861°N 84.56028°W / 45.29861; -84.56028 and flows north on a course generally parallel to the Sturgeon River. The mouth of the Little Sturgeon River is at 45°24′19″N 84°36′32″W / 45.40528°N 84.60889°W / 45.40528; -84.60889 on the former channel of the Sturgeon River that flows into the Indian River.[5]
