On Red Lake River
The Red Lake River is a river in northwestern Minnesota, about 193 miles long, that begins at the outlet of Lower Red Lake, where flow is controlled by the Red Lake Dam managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It flows generally westward past Thief River Falls, St. Hilaire, Red Lake Falls, Crookston and Fisher to join the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks; the confluence gives Grand Forks its name. The Thief River joins it at Thief River Falls, where the Thief River Falls Dam forms a reservoir and generates some hydroelectric power, and the Clearwater River enters at Sportsman's Park in Red Lake Falls.
