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.
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.
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.
