River in Minnesota, United States
The Prairie River is a river in Itasca County , Minnesota . The river is located in northern Minnesota, near the communities of Taconite , Bovey , Grand Rapids , and La Prairie . It is a tributary of the Mississippi River .
In 1991 Enbridge 's Line 3 pipeline ruptured near Grand Rapids, spilling 1.7 million of gallons of oil into the area, including the river, in the largest inland oil spill in US history.[4] [5]
On May 4, 1988, the world record shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum ), which weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces (2.4 kg ), was caught on the Prairie River by angler Greg Clusiau.[6]
