Cannon River Paddle

The Cannon River Watershed Partnership invites you to join us for a leisurely paddle exploring our wonderful waters! There is no cost to join us (unless you need to rent a canoe or kayak) but preregistration is required by June 20th  so we can plan out shuttling needs.  Two routes to choose from:

Route 1 - Cannon River - Cannon River Wilderness Area Park (3471 - 151st Street East, Northfield, MN 55057 ) off Hwy 3 north of Faribault to Riverside Park in Northfield

Route 2 - Cannon River - Cannon Falls to Welch (see CRWP website for more info www.crwp.net)

Register by contacting Alana at (507) 786-3916 or alana@crwp.net.

No one under the age of 18 without adult supervision.  Life jackets/PFDs required. We will do a brief safety review at each site but paddling lessons are not part of this event. 

CRWP volunteers will be there to help people get in and out of the water and manage shuttling.More details and information on canoe and kayak rental can be found at www.crwp.net, click on News and Events.
