Minnesota's many regions create all kinds of rivers for paddling. In the northeast, fast and steep rivers plunge towards Lake Superior. In the northwest, the waters are slower and boggier, heading to Hudson Bay. South of Lake Itasca all rivers lead to the Mississippi. In the west, they wind leisurely through the plains, whereas in central Minnesota they speed up again. The southeast, untouched by the glaciers that molded the rest of the state, is distinguished by dramatic bluffs. Some waterways, like the St. Louis or the St. Croix, are suitable for overnight excursions, and some, like Minnehaha Creek, are perfect for a day trip. Guide books and local paddlers will have up-to-date details for specific routes, but these pages will get you started exploring the Rivers & Streams in the land of lakes.
