The CR4 to CR52 stretch of Kettle River is 25 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. The scenic beauty of Carlton/Pine County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. A bit
of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. For all you camping people
there are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Minnesota tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the CR4 to CR52 section is one of them.
