Yellow River (Wisconsin River)
The Yellow River originates in eastern Clark County. It flows south through Pittsville, Dexter and Babcock in Wood County, and Necedah in Juneau County. Past Necedah, it flows into Castle Rock Lake where it meets the Wisconsin River near Buckhorn State Park. In Dexterville it is dammed to create Lake Dexter. The stretch from Necedah to Castle Rock Lake has numerous oxbows.
In the Menominee language, the river is known as Mēkon-Sēpēw, "plume or feather river".
