From its source at Lake Itasca, 1,475 feet (450 m) above sea level in Itasca State Park located in Clearwater County, Minnesota, the river falls to 801 feet (244 m) prior to St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis.
Lake Itasca is a small glacial lake, approximately 1.8 square miles (4.7 km²) in area, in the Lake District of northwestern Minnesota in the United States. It is the source of the Mississippi River. The lake is located in southeastern Clearwater County within Itasca State Park. It has an average depth of 20-35 feet (6-11 m), and is 1,475 ft (450 m) above sea level.
The Mississippi River starts its 2,340 mi (3,770 km) journey to the Gulf of Mexico at the lake. Henry Schoolcraft identified Lake Itasca as the river's source in 1832. He had been part of a previous expedition in 1820 led by General Lewis Cass that had named nearby Cass Lake (which is downstream from Itasca) as the source of the river. The Ojibwe name for "Lake Itasca" was Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake); this was changed by Schoolcraft to "Itasca",., coined from a combination of the Latin words veritas ("truth") and caput ("head"). It is one of several examples of pseudo-Indian place names created by Schoolcraft.
