The Salmon Trout River in the Huron Mountains of Marquette County is home to the "coaster" brook trout.
The 20.8-mile-long (33.5 km) river flows into Lake Superior several miles northwest of Big Bay.
The river rises in the northern portions of Michigamme Township and Marquette Township and flows through Powell Township. The headwaters of this river are in the Yellow Dog Plains. The Huron Mountain Club (HMC) owns a large tract of land in the mountains, including a portion of the Salmon Trout River. However, the private club restricts access to its property.
