The Kettle Fest has a full weekend of paddling activities for whitewater and flat water paddlers. Challenge yourself on white-water rapids or enjoy some easy paddling on the Kettle River's upper or lower sections.
The river is designated as "Wild and Scenic" and is a beautiful float from the head waters down to the St. Croix.
River Festival highlights include the
"Kettle River Run" a down river kayak, canoe, and raft race and a Whitewater Rodeo.
Other events of the Kettle River Paddle Fest © included a paddle making demo, paddler party and gear swap.
"Great event, a laid back and action packed weekend."
