When I say "canoe trip" it probably means a few hours in a canoe down one of the many rivers in Minnesota (over 30) that are designated canoe routes. There's a river for everyone's preference! 

Some of the rivers in Minnesota meander quietly through the countryside, while others wind through the wilderness. Some are easy, others offer a little more excitement with rapids. The Minnesota Department of natural Resources has maps with access points. You can even camp along the way. They even have instructions on how to canoe! 

My must have's as far as canoeing goes: life jackets, beverages, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, a great attitude!  See you on the river!
