The Greenwood River is a tributary of the Brule River of Minnesota in the United States. It rises at the outlet of Greenwood Lake and flows south 7.1 miles (11.4 km) to the Brule River.[1]

It was formerly called Diarrhea River, because it was supposed drinking its water caused diarrhea.[2]

There are both brook trout and smallmouth bass present in the Greenwood River.[3]
