About the kinnickinnic river
The Kinnickinnic River, also known as the Kinni, is a 22-mile-long river that runs through western Wisconsin, starting in St. Croix County and flowing into the St. Croix River near River Falls. The river is known for its crystal-clear water, which is the result of the local limestone geology. The river has a rich history, with the Ojibwe people using it for travel and fishing before European settlement. Hydrologically, the river is fed by several tributaries, including the Rush River, and is dammed at the confluence of the South and North Forks. There are several dams along the river, including the Mill Pond Dam and the Powell Falls Dam. The river is a popular destination for recreational activities, including fishing, kayaking, and hiking. The surrounding agricultural land is used for farming and raising livestock.
