About the redwood river


The Redwood River is a 157-mile-long river in southwestern Minnesota. It flows through a diverse landscape of prairies, wetlands, and forests before ultimately emptying into the Minnesota River. The river has a rich history, with evidence of early human habitation dating back over 12,000 years. Today, the Redwood River is an important source of water for both agricultural and recreational uses. The river is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Lakeside Dam, which was built in 1936 to provide hydroelectric power. The river is popular for kayaking, fishing, and camping, and its banks are lined with parks and trails. The Redwood River is also critical to the region's agricultural industry, providing irrigation water for crops and livestock.
