Heart of Minneapolis Tour - Single Kayaks
Find out what puts “Minne” in Minneapolis. After a paddle skill introduction on Boom Island, you will head in your single kayak upriver toward the old industrial Port of Minneapolis on the Northside. On the way back down, enjoy the river’s current and a close-up skyline view. Depending on conditions, the tour will wrap up with either a visit to the Bassett Creek lagoon, or a stretch down to the spot to which Minneapolis owes its existence: above the falls of St. Anthony, or Owámniyomni in the Dakota language.
As with all PBGC tours, the route and duration is subject to flexibility depending on weather conditions, water level and flow-rate, and group dynamics. Distance will be reflected accordingly, but averages 3-4 miles on this stretch.
Duration: 2.5 hours
