The beautiful scenery of Cook County and the water flowing gracefully down Cascade River attract people from near and far. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Minnesota you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The Cascades of Cascade stretch of Cascade River in Minnesota is 0.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V+ section. This is a very short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit
to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. Getting
a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
