The Loutre River is a 58.4-mile-long (94.0 km) tributary of the Missouri River in the United States. The Loutre River, beginning as Little Loutre Creek in Audrain County, is fed along its path by many small creeks and streams. It flows into the Missouri River from the north in Montgomery County opposite the town of Hermann. Loutre, meaning "otter", was applied to the river by French trappers.

Famous quotes containing the word river:
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
