CR766 to Highway 65 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Minnesota is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nature scenery of Minnesota and the water flowing gracefully down Sturgeon River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to
drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Sturgeon River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the CR766 to Highway 65 stretch is the only one. This section of Sturgeon River in St. Louis County is 3.4
miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks. The campgrounds here at Sturgeon River are pretty good. When you're paddling down a Mesabi Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
