On Snake River
The Snake River is a 104-mile tributary of the St. Croix River in east-central Minnesota. Its headwaters are in southern Aitkin County. The river flows south through Kanabec County and turns east near Mora, following a minor fault line. It enters the St. Croix 13 miles east of Pine City, and along the way it flows through Cross Lake and Pokegama Lake. Its watershed covers about 1,006 square miles in Aitkin, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine and Isanti counties within the St. Croix River Basin. The Knife, Ann and Groundhouse rivers and Rice Creek are its major tributaries. More about Snake River.
