Geography

The Fishhook River starts in Park Rapids on Fish Hook River Dam, the long Fish Hook River Reservoir is the 3 km, which is used to produce electricity by hydropower and lies at the point of rapids. From Park Rapids from the Fishhook River flows south-southwest of the townships Todd, Straight River and Hubbard. The Straight River flows one from the west. The Fishhook River empties into the Hubbard Township from the north in the Shell River.
