Ashippun River

The Ashippun River is a 33.2-mile-long (53.4 km)[1] tributary of the Rock River in southeastern Wisconsin in the United States.[2] The Ashippun's watershed lies in Dodge, Washington and Waukesha counties. Its tributaries include Mud Run, Dawson Creek and Davey Creek.

Description

From its headwaters in a small wetland and agricultural area, the Ashippun River flows southwest through Druid Lake to the Rock River. There are 12 intermittent and 5 perennial tributaries to the Ashippun River. It has a low gradient of 6 feet (1.8 m) per mile.

Fishing

An impoundment at Monterey and several structures upstream have created water and fishery qualities similar to those of a lake. Northern pike and bass offer limited fishing. In addition, the river has been found to contain the rare Least Darter (Etheostoma microperca). Carp are also available in quantity.
