Minnesota whitewater - Sturgeon River, Mesabi Range, St. Louis County
St. Louis
county,
CR766 to Highway 65 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 3.4 miles
The scenic beauty of St. Louis County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. 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 rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. 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. For all you camping people there are campgrounds
nearby. The beautiful Mesabi Range scenery is an added bonus. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. This is the only paddling
section along Sturgeon River. The CR766 to Highway 65 section of Sturgeon River is 3.4 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
