The natural beauty of Pine County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Minnesota tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and spending
    some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. The Cross Lake to confluence with St. Croix River. stretch of Snake River in Pine County is 12 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in
this river system, there are a few others too. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other spots.
