The Tamarack River is an 8.8-mile-long (14.2 km)[3] tributary of the Middle Branch Ontonagon River in Iron and Gogebic counties on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the United States. The stream source is the outflow from Tamarack Lake.[2] Via the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River, its water flows north to the Ontonagon River and ultimately to Lake Superior.
