wikipedia tells us:
The Cheboygan River is a short but significant river in the Lake Huron drainage basin of the U.S. state of Michigan.
7.0 miles (11.3 km) in length,[3] the Cheboygan River flows from the north end of Mullett Lake at 45°34'37?N 84°29'16?W to the Straits of Mackinac at 45°39'22?N 84°27'55?W.[2] The river forms the boundary between Benton Township and Inverness Township before flowing into the city of Cheboygan. The largest tributary is the Black River. The Cheboygan River is entirely contained within Michigan's Cheboygan County, and the county seat of Cheboygan is located at the river's mouth.
Cheboygan was founded as a lumbering town to cut timbers harvested from the Cheboygan River's drainage and floated down to mills (now mostly vanished) at the mouth of the river. Today, one of the biggest industries of the town and river of Cheboygan is pleasure boating up and down the river. The river is a key artery of the Inland Waterway, a pleasure-boat necklace of waterways in the northern section of Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
The river is the namesake for the city and county.
The Cheboygan River descends 13 feet (4.0 m) in its 6-mile (9.7 km) length, from 594 feet (181 m) above sea level, the level of Mullett Lake, to Lake Huron at 581 feet (177 m) above sea level.
