I’ve always loved canoeing and kayaking too. My friend Barb O and I kayaked down the Canon River awhile back. Another friend, D, invited me kayaking for the day at Lebanon Park – also fun.
As teenagers we used to rope our canoe on top of the family station wagon and head off to the nearest lake – usually Nokomis, but sometimes Lake of the Isles. Canoe trips to the Boundary Water Area (BWCA) were always something I loved. Two weeks and you may not see another living soul. But pull your canoe onto an island at night, or bears may come to investigate your campsite.
