Pine county, Highway 25 to Highway 48/77 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     10.2 miles
  The average Minnesota whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This section of Lower Tamarack River in Pine County is 10.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other places for that. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead
    and pack your sleeping bag. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. Lower Tamarack River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Highway 25 to Highway 48/77 section is the only one. You might have
to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The scenic beauty of Minnesota and the water flowing gracefully down Lower Tamarack River make the trip here worthwhile. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
