For this super fun trip... we will put in and take out at the same location, Lion's Levee Park in St. Paul Park. Travel the back channels of the Mississippi to see interesting rock outcroppings and islands that bloom with wildflowers in the summer. Watch for eagles, egrets, and beavers. Depending on the wind and current, we may choose to travel down and back up through the back channels. Or we'll paddle downstream on the Mississippi's main channel and back up through the backwaters. The trip will take 2-3 hours. This is a guided, group trip, and we can schedule it for 4 or more people. $89 plus tax* per person.
* Discounted price reflects if you help wipe out your own kayak at the end. Towels provided. Includes kayak rental (paddle and pfd). You provide transportation for yourself at both ends. We deliver and pick up the kayaks.

Watch for turtles, eagles and other bird species, and native wildflowers. The trip will take 2-3 hours and is a group, guided trip. We can schedule for four or more people, as our schedule allows. $89 plus tax * per person.

This super fun trip starts at Lion's Levee Park in St. Paul Park and ends at Mooers Lake Park in Cottage Grove. The trip follows a scenic backwater channel below Lion's Levee to where you'll briefly meet up with the main channel of the Mississippi. Then you'll follow the Grey Cloud Channel to your exit at Mooer's Lake. Because you'll be paddling through backchannels, this is a good route for paddlers of all skill levels and a very interesting area to explore. This is a group, guided tour that takes about 2-3 hours. We can schedule this trip for 4 or more people, as our schedule allows. $89 plus tax* per person.
As with all of our point A to Point B river trips, you will need transportation for yourself at both ends. Most groups use two cars and leave one at the end and carpool to the start.
