This is the first launch for the "Upper Mississippi Smallie Region" The small maouth fishery will continue downstream all the way to Elk River. A beautiful stretch of river with great smallie fishing, scenery, and campsites. A perfect place to experience Minnesota kayak fishing. Other launch options include several stops between St. Cloud, Clearwater, and Becker.
