The Zumbro River is on the rise


The Zumbro River in SE MN is on the rise. This is the river coming over the dam in Mantorville, MN. Normally this river barely trickles over the dam.



This is a closer shot.



This is a view from behind the dam. You can see where the water looks calm and smooth until it drops over the dam. It is running pretty high.



One more view just over the dam.

The park area and this side of the river are taped off to not allow the public to get too close. This same river a little further east by Zumbrota had already flooded some farm fields by highway 52 going into Rochester.
