Minnesota whitewater - Vermilion River, St. Louis County

St. Louis county, Eightmile Creek to Cty 24 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     1.5 miles
  The Eightmile Creek to Cty 24 stretch of Vermilion River in St. Louis County is 1.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-IV section. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're
    all set. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Eightmile Creek to Cty 24 section is one of them. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can
camp. The scenic beauty of Minnesota and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile.
