Minnesota whitewater - Stewart River, Lake County

Lake county, CR2 to Highway 61 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV(V)     4.9 miles
  The wonderful Lake County scenery and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. The average Minnesota whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This stretch of Stewart River is 4.9 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV(V) section by American Whitewater. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are no other stretches to paddle along Stewart River
    than the CR2 to Highway 61 stretch. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have
people coming from far and near.
