St. Louis county, Highway 73 to Samuelson Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II(IV)     23 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. The wonderful St. Louis County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but
    why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The Highway 73 to Samuelson Park section of Little Fork River is 23 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II(IV) section. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have
