If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Minnesota you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so better bring your camping gear along. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one,
but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for that around here. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Highway 53 to Highway 33 section is
one of them. The starting point is not too far from Duluth, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nature scenery of St. Louis County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here.
