It was a very swampy start tho there is a real lake of sorts; but way way back when the park head decided trhat wasn't a good look to the start of the river so it got channeled out a bit. They have a row of large rocks aross it so you can walk across the Mississippi, just a little too wide to jump across most of the time.
We are really really wet up here, I'm down by the Minnesota river which feeds into the Mississippi. Lot of snow melt. We are 11 feet over flood stage, only 5 feet from the highest level recorded. The Missisppi is going up now too.
I think somewhere around St Louis the river changes, broadens out, so our waters don't really affect you too much below that - up & down a bit, but not a big deal? I feel bad for the folks by Fargo/Moorehead - theirs is yet to come, and it will be bad again for them. They are on the bottom level part of an ancient lake, so there is no where to channel the water, it just builds up and flows. River runs north, so the ice doesn't leave in time, just builds up behind the ice.
You can watch river levels all across the USA here: http://water.weather.gov/ahps/
