The East Swan River is a 24.2-mile-long (38.9 km)[1] tributary of the Saint Louis River in St. Louis County, Minnesota, Minnesota, United States. As of 2021, there is an angling easement on the river,[2] however trout fishing is considered marginal. Some efforts have been made in stocking the river with brown trout, however those efforts have been met with limited success.[3][4]
