The Upper Mississippi is the portion of the river where the river begins. The Mississippi river starts at Lake Itasca, in the central north of Minnesota. Lake Itasca is a small glacial lake approximately 4.7 km2 (1.8 sq mi.) in area. It is located in the Itasca National Park and is 450 m (1,475 ft) above sea level. Lake Itasca was officially named as the source of the Mississippi River after extensive investigation in the 1800’s. The original course of the river from Lake Itasca was moved to make a more pleasant visiting area for tourists in the 1930’s and a new channel was dug and rock walls erected to create the new course.
