Description

Bridge over the Little Cannon River near Nerstrand, Minnesota

The Cannon River and Little Cannon River names came from a mispronunciation of the original French explorers name for the river, "Canot".

There was a dam on the Little Cannon River in Goodhue County (44°30′30″N 92°54′25″W / 44.5083003°N 92.9068730°W / 44.5083003; -92.9068730). The ruins of the Archibald Mill dam are located on the Little Cannon River. The dam was removed in 2001.

There is a cemetery called the Little Cannon Cemetery north of Kenyon, Minnesota (44°19′37″N 92°58′53″W / 44.3269941°N 92.9813490°W / 44.3269941; -92.9813490).

The Little Cannon River is a state designated canoe stream.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources stocks the Little Cannon River with brown and rainbow trout.
