White Earth River
The White Earth River is a major tributary of the Red River of the North in Minnesota, USA. The river flows for 142 miles from its headwaters near the town of Waubun to its confluence with the Red River near Georgetown. Historically, the river was used by Native Americans for transportation, fishing, and agriculture. Today, the White Earth River is used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river is also used for irrigation and agriculture, with several small reservoirs and dams located along its length. These include the Detroit Lakes Dam and Reservoir and the White Earth Lake Dam, which provide flood control and water storage for agricultural use. The hydrology of the river has been impacted by agricultural practices and land use changes in the region.
