The beautiful scenery of Minnesota and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Minnesota is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the FR157 to CR45 section is one of them. This section of Cascade River in Minnesota is 3.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II(IV) section. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will
have you coming back for more. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either
way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
