River Description

Hannine Falls is the most significant drop on this river. The MN DNR brochure describes it as "a jagged, sloping 15-foot drop. Class VI. Though conceivably runnable at low water levels . . . is filled with big holes in high water . . . followed by 150 yards of class II rapids." (I suspect the "class VI" rating is highly inflated by current standards.)

Numerous class I-II rapids populate the next 20 miles to Samuelson Park, a county facility with picnic and camping facilites. Shorter runs may be made utilizing various road crossings.

Downstream (for 100 miles to the confluence with Rainy River) is a fine canoe tripping reach with widely spread whitewater (four areas of I-II rapids). This could be broken into much smaller segments.
