Deer River is a city in the southern part of Itasca County, Minnesota. The community consists of over one square mile of land and is home to approximately 950 people. Deer River got its start when logging began in the area in the 1870s, with the township incorporated in 1898. Now called the “Gateway to the Chippewa National Forest” it is surrounded by lakes, rivers, and a forest with over a million acres of pine, spruce, sugar maple, birch, aspen, fir, and tamarack trees.
