The Onion River is a 6.1-mile-long (9.8 km)[1] stream in northeastern Minnesota, the United States, flowing directly into Lake Superior.[2]

A small property at the mouth of the river is managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as Ray Berglund State Wayside, a memorial donated by the friends of a St. Paul businessman and conservationist in 1951.[3]
