The Snake River is a 104-mile-long (167 km)[1] tributary of the St. Croix River in east-central Minnesota in the United States. It is one of three streams in Minnesota with this name.[2] Its name is a translation from the Ojibwa Ginebigo-ziibi, after the Dakota peoples who made their homes along this river. Kanabec County's name is derived from the Ojibwe word for this river.[3]
