The Cheboygan River (/ʃəˈbɔɪɡən/ shə-BOY-gən)[3] is a river in the U.S. state of Michigan. The seven-mile (11 km)[4] river flows from Mullett Lake to Lake Huron,with its mouth in the city of Cheboygan.[2] The river forms part of the Inland Waterway, a 38-mile-long (61 km) series of lakes and rivers that nearly connect Little Traverse Bay, a bay of Lake Michigan, with Lake Huron. The Black River is the largest tributary of the Cheboygan River.
