The Hendrie River is a small stream in Mackinac County on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It flows through mixed forest, wetlands, and glacial lakeplain within the Lake Michigan drainage of the south-central county.

Course

Headwaters arise in small springs and peatlands in Mackinac County. The river follows a gentle gradient across low-relief terrain and alder–cedar swales before joining downstream waters of the Lake Michigan basin.

Plants and wildlife

Upland forests include northern hardwoods (maple, birch, aspen) and conifers (white pine, hemlock, spruce–fir). Riparian corridors are characterized by alder thickets, cedar swamps, and sedge meadows. Cold- to cool-water fishes occupy spring-influenced reaches; warmer backwaters near the confluence support species typical of Lake Michigan tributaries in Mackinac County.
