The Whitewater River in Winona County is one of southeastern Minnesota's premier trout streams, flowing through the scenic Whitewater State Park valley. The river supports a self-sustaining wild brown trout population and is a favorite among fly fishers for its challenging spring hatches including Hendricksons and sulphurs. The limestone spring-fed water maintains cold temperatures year-round, providing excellent trout habitat.
