    At the tip of Pike Island in St. Paul Minnesota, the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers join forces on their way to the Gulf of Mexico. If you look carefully, you can notice that the Mississippi River (on the north side of Pike Island) runs relatively clear, and the Minnesota River (on the south side of Pike Island) runs stained brown with runoff from agricultural fields to the west.
