The Wind River is a minor tributary of the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin in the United States. It flows for its entire 9miles length[3] in western Pierce County. It rises in the town (unincorporated jurisdiction) of Trimbelle and flows southward through the towns of Oak Grove and Diamond Bluff. Wind River joins the Mississippi near the unincorporated community of Diamond Bluff, which is within the larger jurisdiction (the town). The confluence is 801miles from the Mississippi's mouth on the Gulf of Mexico.[4]
