Brule River virtually runs it's entire course as the boundary between Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Brule begins at Brule Lake, just inside the Michigan border. It winds east and southeast until joining with the Michigamme River, the confluence of which forms the Menominee River.

The Brule is a great river for canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts. It runs a course of winding course through mostly public lands for roughly 45 miles before it runs into the Menominee. There is only one dam on the river that affects the water level but that is located on Brule Island near the end of the Brule just below the Paint River.

Much of the land on both sides of the river is publicly owned with several good campsites available. Great fishing is to be found on the Brule with brook and brown trout in the upper areas and tributaries. Small-mouth bass and northern pike can be found in abundance in the lower sections.
