No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna |
spend hours on the river in one stretch. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. There are campgrounds quite near the river
| where you can camp. The Cty 3 to Lake Superior stretch of Crow Creek is 2 miles long and it is classified as a class IV section by American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Minnesota tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too.
