On Crow Wing River

The Crow Wing River is a 113-mile tributary of the Mississippi River in north-central Minnesota. It rises in a chain of 11 lakes in southern Hubbard County at about 1,391 feet. From there it flows generally south and then east to join the Mississippi at Crow Wing State Park, northwest of Little Falls. In Wadena County it runs from the Blueberry Bridge northeast of Menahga to the county's southeast corner just west of Staples. Its watershed covers about 1,946 square miles in nine counties. The river is named for a wing-shaped island at its mouth. More about Crow Wing River.
