Cascades of Cascade section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V+ 0.5 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The Cascades of Cascade stretch of Cascade River is 0.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V+ section of whitewater. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is an extremely short stretch
so better bring some good walking shoes. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The wonderful Minnesota scenery and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general
area you'll find lots of paddling places. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well.
