Via the Little Sioux and Missouri Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. The river has been channelized for much of its length. Course The Ocheyedan River flows from Ocheda Lake in Nobles County, Minnesota, 3 mi (4.8 km) south of Worthington, and flows generally southeastwardly through Osceola, O'Brien and Clay Counties in Iowa. It joins the Little Sioux River at the town of Spencer.
