Banning State Park to Sandstone section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III(IV) 3 miles
This stretch of Kettle River in Minnesota is 3 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III(IV) section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Minnesota are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're
all set. The Banning State Park to Sandstone stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other spots.
This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
