- Buffalo River (Minnesota)
The Buffalo River is a tributary of the Red River of the North, 88 mi (142 km) long, in western Minnesota in the United States. Via the Red River, Lake Winnipeg and the Nelson River, it is part of the watershed of Hudson Bay. The river drains an area of 1,189 sq mi (3,080 km²).
Course
The Buffalo River flows from Tamarack Lake in the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge in central Becker County and flows generally westwardly into Clay County, past the towns of Hawley and Georgetown and through Buffalo River State Park. It flows into the Red River about 1 mi (2 km) west of Georgetown.
The river's largest tributary is the South Branch Buffalo River, which rises in western Otter Tail County and flows initially westward into northern Wilkin County, then northward into Clay County, where it joins the main stem of the river.
