Course

The Cobb River rises at the outlet of Freeborn Lake in northwestern Freeborn County and flows generally northwestwardly through northeastern Faribault, southwestern Waseca, and southwestern Blue Earth counties. It flows into the Le Sueur River from the south, about 6 miles (10 km) south of Mankato.

In Blue Earth County it collects the Little Cobb River, which rises in southwestern Waseca County and flows 36.9 miles (59.4 km) generally westward.[1]
