The Ahnapee River is a tributary of Lake Michigan on the Door Peninsula in eastern Wisconsin in the United States. It is about 15 mi (25 km) long. Its name has been ascribed as coming from the Ojibwe word aanapii meaning "when?"

[edit] Course

The Ahnapee rises in southern Door County and flows generally southeastwardly into northeastern Kewaunee County, past the village of Forestville, where it is dammed. Downstream of Forestville the river becomes a freshwater estuary of Lake Michigan [1] and is paralleled by a rail trail. It joins Lake Michigan at the city of Algoma.
