Kettle River (St. Croix River)
The Kettle is an 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed October 5, 2012〕 tributary of the St. Croix River in eastern Minnesota in the United States. Via the St. Croix River, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. The river's English name is due to the large number of large rounded holes (kettles) in the sandstone in and around the river, carved out by the swirling waters of the river. The river's Dakota name ''Céġa watpa''〔"Tchegaouateba / Rivière a la Chaudière" on de L'Isle, Guillaume (1702) ''Carte de la rivière du Mississippi, dressée sur les mêmorires de M. Le Sueur''.〕 entered into English via the Anishinaabe people's ''Akiko-ziibi'', both meaning "Kettle River".
==River character==
Throughout the course of the river, the waters of the Kettle have an amber tint. This tint comes from tannins (leaf colorings) from wetlands which drain into the river, rather than manmade causes.
The Kettle's flow changes fairly quickly with rainfall in the area of drainage, which is about . It is not uncommon for the river to be reduced to a trickle during dry summer spells, and rise to a whitewater torrent after a few days of rain. Normal water flows vary seasonally from 200 to over 6000 ft³/min (0.09 to 2.8 m³/s). Check the ( USGS Water Gauge ) for current flows before you go.
Very deep sections of the river exist, with some pools reaching over in depth. The astounding depth of the river and general good water quality support a population of the ancient sturgeon. The record largest fish ever caught in the state of Minnesota was a , 94 pound 4 oz (42.8 kg) sturgeon caught in the Kettle River in 1994.
