CLASS IV     2 miles
  The wonderful Lake County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Crow Creek will make you feel great. If you're coming from Duluth it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. 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.
