The Manistee River (/mænɪsti/ man-iss-TEE, seldom referred to as the Big Manistee River) is a 190-mile-long (310 km)[2] river in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. The river rises in the Northern Lower Peninsula, and flows in a generally southwesterly direction to its mouth at Lake Michigan at the eponymous city of Manistee.

The Manistee River is considered, like the nearby Au Sable River, to be one of the best trout fisheries east of the Rockies. The Manistee River is also being considered for restoration of Arctic grayling, which have been extirpated from the State of Michigan since 1936.[3]
