Reply #40: A couple of cool rivers here in MN/WI

[eyepaddle]

Nothing spectacular (like you have in Alaska) but enough to have fun. My favorite is a little river about twenty miles from where I live called the Vermillion--the runs is only about a half mile long, but it's got a cool slide/waterfall called triple drop where you lose about 20 feet of elevation in about 30 yards. This includes a seven or eight foot fall. When the flow gets to about 300 cubic feet per second (the river averages about eighty) the features get pretty muscular.

No doubt about it, it's the bomb diggity! :hi: :toast:

Here's a local whitewater club's website where you can follow the links and see what the local rivers have to offer!
