Mississippi River Headwaters

Highlight • River

You are here, closest to what is considered to be the sources of the Mississippi. It is very easy to cross the river from one bank to the other. The site is located within Itasca State Park. Many infrastructures are in the surroundings due in large part to the celebrity of the places.
