Root River Current is many things to many people.
“There’s an intimacy with Root River Current. When I read it, I feel like I’m home.”
From insightful essays to humorous poetry to lush pictures that capture the essence of the greater Root River Valley, inspiration is a theme we regularly hear from readers.
Our stories also inform:
“Each year, up to 40 dump truck loads of soil are stripped from the Root River’s banks and stream bottom at a remote oxbow northwest of Lanesboro… Now, in one of the Driftless region’s most ambitious river restoration projects, engineers with excavating equipment intend to force the river back to where it belongs.”
David Shaffer’s report on this monumental project is one of our most-read articles in 2024. It informs – and inspires.
Thinking about the year to come, the stories to come?
