Two Hearted River

Two Hearted River

The Two Hearted River is a short river, approximately 25 mi (40 km) long in northern Michigan in the United States. It drains a forested wilderness area of the eastern Upper Peninsula into Lake Superior. It rises in several short branches in northeastern Luce County approximately 15 mi (24 km) southeast of Grand Marais. The North and West branches meet approximately 8 mi (13 km) SSE of Deer Park. The main branch flows generally northeast, approaching Lake Superior at a sharp angle. It enters the lake approximately 10 mi (16 km) east of Deer Park.

The river is a popular destination for recreational fishing. As such, it was the title of a famous short story, "Big Two-Hearted River", by U.S. author Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway used the name because of its appeal; however, the geography of the story indicates that Hemingway was really describing a different trout stream, the Fox River near Seney. The story, set after World War I, was first published in 1925 as part of the collection "In Our Time" and republished in 1972 as part of "The Nick Adams Stories".

Bell's Brewery, a craft brewery based in Kalamazoo, Michigan makes an India Pale Ale named Two Hearted.
