Being so close to interstate 35 I was not sure how great the park was going to be. Wow! This place was packed with outstanding surprises! Started off just kind of like ok another groomed hiking trail.. Then I found a super fun tree to balance and play around on. Right down the path was huge sections of wildflower. Then I come to Kettle River. WOW! All together got in a 8.14 mile loop.

This was the first time I ever saw rapids in Minnesota. I thought stuff like this was only out west. My excitement level for the new SUP just skyrocketed. I hiked and free climbed my way down the river to Wolf Creek Falls. I really enjoyed my time here and will be back in the summer to play in the rapids and in the winter to see all the ice :)
