The river has several tributaries including the Cannon River and the Blue Earth River. Seasonal trends show higher flow during the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, while summer and fall flows are typically lower. There are several dams along the river, including the Upper and Lower St. Anthony Falls, which were historically used to power mills. Interestingly, the Minnesota River was once one of the most polluted rivers in the country, but has since seen significant improvements in water quality due to conservation efforts.
