The Des Moines River (/dəˈmɔɪn/) is a tributary of the Mississippi River in the upper Midwestern United States that is approximately 525 miles (ca. 845 km) long from its farther headwaters. It is the largest river flowing across the state of Iowa. It rises in southern Minnesota and flows across Iowa from northwest to southeast, passing from the glaciated plains into the unglaciated hills near the capital city of Des Moines, named after the river, in the state's centre. The river continues to flow in a southeastern direction away from Des Moines, later flowing directly into the Mississippi River.
The Des Moines River forms a short portion of Iowa's border with Missouri in Lee County. The Avenue of the Saints, a four-lane highway from St. Paul, Minnesota to St. Louis, Missouri, passes over this section; the highway is designated Route 27 in both Iowa and Missouri and was completed in the early 21st century.
