This article is about the river in eastern Minnesota. For the smaller river in central Minnesota, see Kettle River (central Minnesota). For other uses, see Kettle River (disambiguation).
The Kettle is an 83.6-mile-long (134.5 km)[1] 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[2] entered into English via the Anishinaabe people's Akiko-ziibi, both meaning "Kettle River".[3]
