Minnesota whitewater - Flute Reed River, Cook County

Cook county, Cty 69 to Lake Superior section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     1 miles
  This section of Flute Reed River in Minnesota is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. The beautiful scenery of Minnesota and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. This is an extremely short stretch so no need to bring snacks. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. 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. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Cty
69 to Lake Superior stretch is the only paddling stretch along Flute Reed River.
