About

All our Whitewater, Float Tour, and Fishing guides are certified in First Aid, CPR, and whitewater rescue. OUR TRIPS RUN RAIN OR SHINE

Our trips run through the Spring, Summer, and Fall on a dam-controlled section of the St. Louis River. These trips require a minimum of 4 people to run a trip so we encourage booking with a partner, but it is not required! If that trip does not run we will rebook to accommodate.

At normal water levels during the summer months, the section above the Thompson Dam, the Upper, is a 4.4-mile stretch with sets of Class I – III rapids.

Below the Thompson Dam, the Lower is a shorter section filled with numerous drops and Class II – V rapids. Generally, the Lower is reserved for expert kayakers and usually only passable with rafts late in the season or at much lower water levels and flow rates. We generally only run this section at low levels/flow rates.
