  • The Rum River

    The Rum, a 148-mile river of gradual grade, is steeped in history. The French explored it. The Chippewa and Sioux fought along it, and the pine logs that helped build the cities of the Midwest were floated down it during the lumber heydays of the 1800s. The Rum was particularly prized because it spilled its bounty of logs into the Mississippi River above the falls of St. Anthony. It, like the Mississippi River to the west and the St. Croix River to the east, carried away the vast pine stands of east-central Minnesota in less than 50 years. The Rum’s name is an interesting story in itself. The Sioux referred to Lake Mille Lacs, the source of the Rum, as Spirit Lake. Europeans apparently mistranslated “Spirit” to “Rum.”

    The Rum’s headwaters were the capital of the Sioux when the French explorer Daniel Greysolon, Sier Du Luht, arrived in 1679. Du Luht had been sent to the region of the “thousand lakes” by the Governor of New France, Count Frontenac, who hoped to establish new trapping grounds and wrest domination of the fur-trade industry from the British. Du Luht, who had left from Montreal, discovered what the Indians already knew, the nearby lands were rich in natural resources, especially wild rice, fish and game.

    The Sioux, however, would lose these lands. The end came during a fierce three-day battle in 1745 with the Chippewa at Kathio, a community of Sioux villages

    at the headwaters of the Rum. Though the Sioux and Chippewa would battle each other for nearly another century, the Chippewa became the permanent residents.

    Their presence continued the tradition of more than 4,000 years of human habitation at the river’s headwaters. Mille Lacs Kathio State Park, located along the river, is a National Historic Landmark because of its importance as a historic and archaeological site. Clearly, Lake Mille Lacs is the source of the Rum, yet the Rum flows through three lakes—Ogechie, Shakopee and Onamia—before it takes on the true character of a river corridor. The Rum starts at 1,250 feet above sea level and drops about 145 feet before it reaches its confluence with the Mississippi River at Anoka. About half of the drop occurs between Onamia and Milaca. The canoeist will discover three distinctly different reaches. The uppermost stretch, Onamia to Princeton, is narrow, rocky, shallow, and clear. This 65-mile segment flows almost straight south. Wading may be necessary at times. The second stretch, Princeton to Cambridge, is wider, deeper, slower and muddier as it flows east and north across the belly of central Minnesota. This is the wildest and most remote reach of the river.

    The final 35-mile stretch, Cambridge to Anoka, runs almost straight south again. Here the river is wider and deeper still as it passes through more civilized surroundings. The valley is deeper in this final stretch and the vistas longer. It offers the kind of broad, flat water that’s good for hard paddling or simply letting the current float you along like a fallen leaf.

    The Rum is a river for beginning and intermediate canoeists. Flows are moderate, rapids are few, and the river is generally shallow, with the exception of the extreme southern reach.

    The Rum is a designated Wild and Scenic River, which means state Legislation preserves and protects its outstanding scenic, recreational, natural, historic and scientific values. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is not meant to restore rivers, but rather prevent damage to exceptional rivers caused by uncontrolled development.

    For those who enjoy fishing, the river offers three popular game fish species, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and walleye. The best fishing tends to be in the middle and lower stretches of the river where the water is deeper. In midsummer, the upper reach between Onamia and Milaca is usually too shallow to hold many fish. Most

    good-sized fish have migrated south by then in search of deeper water. However, fishing can be good on the upper reach of the river in May and June, especially in the deeper pools at bridge crossings.

    Smallmouth bass up to 19 inches long have been found by DNR Fisheries sampling crews in Isanti County and walleye as long as 28 inches in Anoka County. Though the smallmouth bass population is strong, the habitat is more sandy than rocky.

    For the wildlife watcher, the land holds white-tailed deer, beaver, mink, muskrat and raccoon, just to name a few species.

    Hawks, ospreys, owls and eagles are common. The aspen stands along the river are excellent for ruffed grouse. Squirrels and chipmunks thrive in maple and oak stands. The small streams that flow into the Rum provide homes

    for amphibians and insects, which in turn attract larger birds and mammals.

    The Rum is not the river it was when Du Luht and Father Louis Hennepin paddled it more than 300 years ago, yet many of its wild characteristics remain. Being just a short jaunt from the Twin Cities, it is a worthy calling for the beginning paddler or family that seeks a nearby retreat.

    The Rum River Weir, located midpoint in the dogleg of the river between Shakopee and Onamia

    lakes, was installed to allow water level manipulation (drawdown capabilities) in Onamia without affecting Shakopee. This lowering of Onamia enhances the ability to ensure good to excellent wild rice crops in 3 out of 4 years.

    This is especially true during significant summer rainfalls which can cause dramatic shifts in water levels and uproot rice plants in the floating leaf stage

    of growth. Onamia Lake is a Designated Wildlife Lake, with long range planning efforts geared toward maximizing wild rice production and associated increases in waterfowl and furbearer populations.

    Planning A Safe River Trip A successful river trip is safe. To enjoy a safe journey, you should be prepared by acquainting yourself with your route.

    Choose a distance that is comfortable for you. Water levels can speed up or slow down your trip: get information about water levels from the regional DNR office, DNR website, or DNR Information Center.

    Protect the water and shorelands and leave nothing behind you except footprints. Remember that much of the shorelands are privately owned.

    • Travel with a companion or group. Plan your trip with a map before you depart and advise someone of your plans, including planned departure and arrival times.

    • Most people paddle two to three river miles per hour.

    Sustainable Ecosystems Outdoor recreation is dependent on a healthy and attractive natural environment. Sustainable outdoor recreation enables people to enjoy the outdoors without negative impacts on the environment.

    Communities working together can improve water resources by promoting environmentally sensitive land-use practices along rivers and throughout watersheds. Natural shoreline buffers improve water quality by filtering out pollutants and sediments. Healthy and diverse native shoreline plant communities are attractive and provide important habitat for birds and wildlife.
