The river is fed by several tributaries including the Sauk River and is impounded by the Blanchard Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences higher flows during the spring snowmelt and summer rains, while winter brings lower flows and ice cover. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Mississippi River is that it has changed course several times in its history, including a major shift in the 1800s that created a new channel near present-day Minneapolis.
