The
Apple River is a
tributary of the
Mississippi River, about 40 mi (65 km) long, in southwestern
Wisconsin and northwestern
Illinois in the
United States. It rises in
Lafayette County, Wisconsin, and flows for most of its length in Illinois, through
Jo Daviess and
Carroll Counties. Along its course it passes through
Apple River Canyon State Park and the town of
Hanover. It flows into the Mississippi River about 7 mi (11 km) northwest of
Savanna.
In Jo Daviess County, it collects two short tributaries known as the
West Fork Apple River and
South Fork Apple River.
Geology
The river is part of the
Driftless Area of Illinois, a region that was bypassed by the last
ice age; "the glacial sweep which ironed out hills and filled valleys in other parts of the state left this area unscratched. The Apple River had its original course reversed, it now flowing south to the Mississippi. The result is a deep canyon, part of which is preserved in
Apple River Canyon State Park.
