- Geography: Spanning approximately 1,250 miles, this section of the river flows through five states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. The Upper Mississippi Basin covers around 189,000 square miles.
- Depth: Depth varies widely, with the river's depth averaging 9 to 12 feet in its natural state, though managed areas can reach depths of 30 feet due to lock and dam systems facilitating navigation.
