The Marais des Cygnes River (/ˌmɛərdəˈziːn,-ˈsiːn,ˈmɛərdəziːn/MAIR de ZEEN, - zeen, - SEEN,[3][4]French:[maʁɛdesiɲ]) is a principal tributary of the Osage River, about 217 miles (349 km) long,[5] in eastern Kansas and western Missouri in the United States. Via the Osage and Missouri rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
The name Marais des Cygnes means "Marsh of the Swans" in French (presumably in reference to the trumpeter swan which was historically common in the Midwest).
The river is notorious for flash flooding. It is referred to in the song "The River" by Chely Wright. La Cygne, Kansas, in Linn County and Osawatomie, Kansas, in Miami County are gravely affected by its flooding.
