Cook county, Superior Hiking Trail footbridge to Highway 61 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     0.5 miles
  The Superior Hiking Trail footbridge to Highway 61 stretch of Kadunce River is 0.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV-V section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Minnesota is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels
    fill up quick. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. The scenic beauty of Minnesota and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. This is the only paddling stretch along Kadunce River.
This section is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
