Fawn River (Michigan)

For the Fawn River in the Canadian province of Ontario, see Fawn River (Ontario).

The Fawn River is a small river in the southwest of the U.S. state of Michigan and northeast Indiana. It flows into the St. Joseph River at Constantine, Michigan. The headwaters arise in a series of lakes and marshes in northern Steuben County, Indiana near Pokagon State Park, where it is known as "Crooked Creek". It flows west across the northeast corner of LaGrange County, Indiana and then northwest over the state line across the southeast corner of Branch County, Michigan before entering St. Joseph County, Michigan. Passing to the south of Sturgis, Michigan the river meanders across the state line a few more times before flowing north into Constantine. Except for Constatine, the river does not flow through any large communities, although it passes near Orland, Indiana, Sturgis, Howe, Indiana, and White Pigeon, Michigan.
