  • Der Saint Louis River ist ein 288 Kilometer langer Fluss im US-Bundesstaat Minnesota. Er entspringt bei der Ortschaft Hoyt Lakes (Minnesota) und mündet in einem Süßwasser-Ästuar zwischen den Twin Ports von Duluth und Superior in die Superior Bay in den Oberen See. Zu seinen Zuflüssen gehören North River, Whiteface und Cloquet. In der Mitte des 20. Jahrhundert war der Saint Louis River durch die eingeleiteten Abwasser einer der am stärksten verschmutzten Flüsse von Minnesota. Erst in den 1970er Jahren wurde die Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) auf das Problem aufmerksam. Erst durch den Bau einer Kläranlage konnte die Wasserqualität ab 1978 wieder langsam verbessert werden. Der Saint Louis River gilt als Hauptquellfluss des Sankt-Lorenz-Stroms.
  • The St. Louis River is a river in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin that flows into Lake Superior. The largest U.S. river to flow into the lake, it is 179 miles (288 kilometers) in length and starts near Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. The river's watershed is 3634 square miles in area. Near the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin, the river becomes a freshwater estuary. According to Warren Upham, he records the Ojibwe name of the river being Gichigami-ziibi (Great-lake River). He also records: The river was probably so named by Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye (1685–1749), who was a very active explorer, in the years 1731 and onward, of the vast country from Pigeon River and Rainy Lake to the Saskatchewan and Missouri Rivers, establishing trading posts and missions. The king of France in 1749, shortly before the death of La Vérendrye, conferred on him the cross of St. Louis as a recognition of the importance of his discoveries, and thence the name of the St. Louis River appears to have come. On Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin's map (1688) and Philippe Buache's map (1754), it is called the Rivière du Fond du Lac, and the map by Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1755) and Jonathan Carver's map (1778) are the earliest to give the present name. In the mid 20th century, the St. Louis River became one of the most heavily polluted waterways in the state. Holling Clancy Holling, in his 1942 book Paddle to the Sea, illustrated the polluted state of the St. Louis River. By 1975, the river became an Environmental Protection Agency Area of Concern. The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) was established in 1971 to address serious pollution problems in the lower St. Louis River Basin. WLSSD's regional wastewater treatment plant began operating in 1978. Within 2 years, fish populations rebounded and anglers began returning to the river. Through the 1980s and 1990s, additional cleanups took place, and the river is now significantly less polluted. The river offers a wide variety of fishing opportunities including excellent Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Channel Catfish. Other species of rough fish can be caught here. Attempts to introduce Sturgeon into the river are currently taking place and if caught, are to be immediately returned. The River is also frequented by those travelling the Minnesota DNR St. Louis River Water Trail, which features campsites and excellent angling opportunities.
  • El río St. Louis es un corto río de Los estados Unidos que discurre por el estado de Minnesota, y desagua en el lago Superior. En su tramo final, forma la frontera con el estado de Wisconsin. Es el río más largo que fluye hacia el lago con 288 kilómetros de longitud y se origina en el lago Seven Beaver, cerca de Hoyt Lakes (Minnesota). La cuenca hidrográfica del río tiene 9.412 km² de superficie. Cerca de los puertos gemelos de Duluth (Minnesota) y Superior (Wisconsin), el río se convierte en un estuario de agua dulce. El río se suele considerar la fuente más lejana del sistema fluvial del río San Lorenzo, el colector de los Grandes Lagos.
  • Saint Louis on Yhdysvalloissa virtaava, lähes 290 kilometriä pitkä joki, joka on Nipigonjoen jälkeen toiseksi suurin Yläjärven latvajoki. Sen valuma-alue sijaitsee suurimmaksi osaksi St. Louisin piirikunnassa ja käsittää 9 400 neliökilometriä Minnesotan osavaltiossa sekä 700 neliökilometriä Wisconsinin osavaltiossa.
  • St. Louis River er ei elv i den amerikanske delstaten Minnesota. Den munner ut i Lake Superior, og er den lengste elva som munner ut i innsjøen, og det lengste tilløpet til St. Lawrence-elva. St. Louis er 288 kilometer lang, og har sitt utspring ved Hoyt Lakes i Minnesota. Elva har et nedslagsfelt på 9 412 km². Den renenr gjennom byen Virginia hvor den gir kjølevann til Virginia kraftverk. Den er også virkig for treforedlingsindustrien mellom Virginia og Duluth. Ved tvillingbyene Duluth og Superior danner elva et stort ferskvannnsdelta. Elven har gitt navn til, og ligger i fylket St. Louis county.
