Minnesota whitewater - Kettle River, Carlton/Pine County Carlton/Pine county, CR4 to CR52 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     25 miles   Kettle River Paddle Festival, white water and flat water canoe and kayak expo, demo boats, paddling clinics more information at http:www.kettleriverpaddlefest.com Says Tony Vavricka The nature scenery of Minnesota and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The average Minnesota whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The CR4 to CR52 stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. You might have to settle     for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came.
