Red Cedar River (Wisconsin)
The Red Cedar River in northwestern Wisconsin is a tributary of the Chippewa River, flowing approximately 85 miles from Red Cedar Lake in northeastern Barron County to its confluence with the Chippewa southeast of Dunnville in southern Dunn County.
Important tributaries include the Chetek River and the Hay River.
Important settlements along the river's course include Rice Lake, Cameron, Colfax and Menomonie.
The majority of the river's course is through Dunn County, which it nearly bisects from north to south. The Red Cedar flows through three other important lakes, Rice Lake in Barron County (adjacent to the city of Rice Lake), and two reservoirs in central Dunn County, Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin. Below the dam from Lake Menomin the Red Cedar river is well known for its large walleye population.[citation needed]
