The scenic beauty of Minnesota and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Minnesota are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The Cross Lake to confluence with St. Croix
River. section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The Cross Lake to confluence with St. Croix River. section of Snake River is 12 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section.
Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag.
