The Split Rock River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 7, 2012〕 river of Minnesota, in the United States. It drains a small watershed of about on the North Shore of Lake Superior. The name was used as early as 1825 and is believed to refer either to the steep-walled gorge carved by the river or to two cliffs east of the river mouth that appear split apart. An indigenous name for the river was ''Gininwabiho-zibi'', meaning "War Eagle Iron River."〔 The river's lower course flows through Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, and the Superior Hiking Trail ascends and descends both banks. There is a separate stream called Split Rock Creek nearby. ==Geography== The East and West Split Rock River branches arise in wetlands near Legler Lake.〔 The branches join upstream from its mouth. Over the next the river drops in elevation, then drops over the next mile. Only in its final mile does the river level out and slow before emptying into Lake Superior. There are ten waterfalls on the river, although because they can only be reached by a moderate hike on the Superior Hiking Trail they are lightly visited.
