The river is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Blue Earth River and the Cottonwood River. There are also several dams along the river, including the Redwood Falls Dam and the Mankato Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river's flow rate is highest in the spring due to snowmelt and runoff, and lowest in the late summer and fall. The hydrology of the river is influenced by human activities, such as agricultural practices and urban development. An interesting fact is that the Minnesota River was once a major trade route for Native American tribes and European explorers.
