It flows 65 miles from the confluence of its principal tributaries and drains a watershed of 1,428 square miles. This river has a lively current, and paddlers must keep a lookout to avoid the many snags they are liable to encounter. There are no major rapids, but paddling skills are needed to maneuver with the current and avoid snags in the river while still trying to fish.The Zumbro River also has some major tributaries: the North Fork, the North Branch of the Middle Fork, the Middle Fork, and the South Branch of the Middle Fork. The forks and branches of the Zumbro River can be more difficult to negotiate, particularly in low water conditions. Still, they can provide many good opportunities for those preferring a smaller stream.The Zumbro River is a good fishing river with anglers fishing for catfish, smallmouth bass, bullheads, and suckers.
