below Big Eddy to St. Croix River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 5 miles
The wonderful Minnesota scenery and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. The average Minnesota whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. This stretch of Kettle
River in Pine County is 5 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The below Big Eddy to St. Croix River stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and
if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
