Forest Road 166 to falls above Highway 61 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-V 8.5 miles
This stretch of Cross River in Cook County is 8.5 miles long and is a class II-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Minnesota and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not
for beginners. Cross River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Forest Road 166 to falls above Highway 61 stretch is the only one. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. You can pitch a tent or park your RV
at a nearby campground. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip.
