The Pike River is an 11.6-mile-long (18.7 km)[2] stream in Houghton County in the U.S. state of Michigan.
The river begins in Portage Township at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found., flows northeast into Chassell Township, and empties into Pike Bay of Portage Lake at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.[1] near the community of Chassell.
The Sturgeon River runs to the east, and for its entire course, the Pike River is within approximately 3 miles (5 km) of the Sturgeon River, both converging in Portage Lake. To the west, also within approximately 3 miles (5 km), is the North Branch of the Otter River, which flows to the southwest in the opposite direction of the Pike River. The North Branch Otter River empties into the Otter River, which turns to the northeast into Otter Lake and then feeds the Sturgeon River.
