Mississippi Head Waters

Mississippi river head waters - Itasca State Park
Question - Do you know how long it takes a drop of water to travel from start o the Mississippi (Itasca State Park) to the end (New Orleans)? READ ON












Sunday we packed a picnic lunch and headed off to Itasca State park. The park is about 45 minutes NW of us here in Nevis MN. The park is full of fun things to see and do. This is where the Mississippi river starts from the parks water shed. ://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/itasca/index.html



After a bike ride we enjoyed lunch followed by a tour of the park.



Jenny of course had to show off and walk across the river.

A drop takes 3 months to travel the river.
