Carp River is a 10.3-mile-long (16.6 km)[1] river in Gogebic and Ontonagon counties in the U.S. state of Michigan. The Carp River is formed by the outflow of the Lake of the Clouds at 46°48′04″N 89°45′38″W[2] in the Porcupine Mountains of the Upper Peninsula.
The river flows generally west and southwest and empties into Lake Superior near the boundary between Gogebic and Ontonagon counties at 46°46′04″N 89°53′07″W.[2]
The river is also known as the "Big Carp River" to distinguish it from the nearby Little Carp River.[3]
