Canoe the St. Louis River and Camp in the Floodwood Campground!
Spanning an impressive 3,650 square miles, the St. Louis River watershed offers abundant opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly boating and canoeing enthusiasts. Due to its minimal shallow rapids, the river typically maintains sufficient water levels year-round, ensuring a consistently enjoyable experience for paddlers of all skill levels.
In the upper reaches of the river, paddlers will encounter Class I rapids or less, providing a gentle introduction to the waterway's natural beauty. As the river flows downstream, from Floodwood to Cloquet, the rapids range from Class I to III, offering a bit more excitement for those seeking an exhilarating journey.
