The Whitewater River is a tributary of the Mississippi River. It was named the Whitewater by the Dakota Indians because in the spring when the river was high it would erode the light-colored clay deposits along the banks turning the color of the water white. This portion of the river is a part of Whitewater State Park.

You post such beautiful pictures of your little corner of the world. I really must get out that way and do some exploring. I love learning how places and things got their names. ~karen
