Best adventure sports in Dundas, Minnesota (MN) 2024

In summer they rent kayaks and do a shuttle for a 7 mile run on the Cannon River from above the Cannon River Wilderness Area to Dundas (or Northfield). Website says the trip takes about 2 hours if the river is flowing fast but in Aug 2021, the river was super low and they said that it was taking folks 3-5 hours. You leave your car at the take-out and they shuttle you up. I only had 2 hours. I called and they left a kayak out for me at the Dundas take-out. In the morning, I paddled up river to the Cannon River Wilderness Area (I'd guess 2 miles) and then paddled back to the take-out. It was really pretty. It is all trees along this section of river. I saw lots of birds (eagles, kingfishers, herons, geese and more). I wish I'd had time to do the full 7-mi trip. If you do the trip when the river is low, make sure to take shoes for walking in the river. You'll need to get out and drag the boat sometimes. So like tennis shoes not flip flops. The owner was super nice and helpful on the phone and the whole process was easy. ~Eli
