Northern Light Lake to Sauna Bath Rapid section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III(V) 18 miles
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The Northern Light Lake to Sauna Bath Rapid section of Brule River in Minnesota is 18 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III(V) section. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. The wonderful Minnesota scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to
come here to paddle. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your camping stuff. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. You might be into whitewater rafting
or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
