Minnesota whitewater - Little Fork River, St. Louis County

St. Louis county, CR914 to CR481 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     6.4 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Minnesota are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The CR914 to CR481 section of Little Fork River is 6.4 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Minnesota and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are
    campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. There are a few other sections in this river
system that can be paddled as well.

From a precipitation point of view Little Fork River is a pretty common site; the month with most of the rain is June while February is mostly the driest month.
