Popple River is a tributary of the Pine River in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The river is part of the Menominee River watershed and flows for 47 miles (76 km) in Forest and Florence counties, draining an area of 148,000 acres (60,000 ha).
Popple River rises in the town of Argonne in northern Forest County and flows east through the Nicolet National Forest, running through the community of Popple River. The river continues through southern Florence County, eventually leaving the forest and heading north to its mouth at the Pine River.
