The Little Pigeon River is a 6.0-mile-long (9.7 km)[2] stream in Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan.
The stream rises in Koehler Township at 45°23′13″N 84°29′56″W / 45.38694°N 84.49889°W,[1] out of a marshy area fed by Kimberly Creek[3] approximately one mile north of the community of Afton.
The stream flows mostly north and west into Mullett Lake at Pigeon River Bay[4] at 45°26′29″N 84°33′21″W / 45.44139°N 84.55583°W, which is nearly the same mouth as that of the Pigeon River. The course of the Little Pigeon River runs within approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) or less of the Pigeon River for most of its length.
