The North Fork of the Zumbro River in Zumbrota
The Zumbro River is a tributary of the Mississippi River in the Driftless Area of southeastern Minnesota in the United States. It is 64.6 miles (104.0 km) long[1] from the confluence of its principal tributaries and drains a watershed of 1,428 square miles (3,700 km2).
The river's name in English is a change from its French name Rivière des Embarras (Embarrass River/Obstruction River) due to its mouth located near Pine Island in the Mississippi River.[2]
