The river flows through a deep valley in the Driftless Zone of southwest Wisconsin, beginning between Wilton and Mill Bluff State Park. In the 1960s, a flood control project led to the purchase of 149 farms to construct a dam and reservoir. Additionally, in the early 1850s, a settlement emerged near the river, featuring the first waterwheel sawmill on the upper Kickapoo River. The history of the river is also marked by personal narratives, such as that of Samuel Estes, who floated down the river in 1850.4 Sources - See more
