Description

Kayaking Tour on the beautiful Mississippi River Gorge!

Duration

3-4 Hours, depending on conditions and group needs

About

Experience the magic of the only gorge on the Mississippi, a canyon-like stretch of river with 150-foot-high sandstone cliffs carved out over thousands of years by the recession of an ancient waterfall.

This trip starts with a shuttle pickup outside Sea Salt Eatery at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park. After a short drive to Bohemian Flats Park, our experienced guides will give a short safety and paddling demo before setting off with you on a 6.5-mile journey through the Mississippi River Gorge.

Before the end, you will experience Lock and Dam Number 1, the largest active lock on the whole Mississippi. A quick-flowing mile later, we’ll get off the river at Hidden Falls Regional Park, before shuttling you back to Sea Salt Eatery.

As with all PBGC tours, the route and duration is subject to flexibility depending on weather conditions, water level & flow-rate, and group dynamics.

**Looking to extend your water adventure over land? There are MN Nice Ride bikes at both locations, and Sea Salt is located close to 2 light rail stations (which will take you back downtown or towards Mall Of America). If you’d prefer to use these methods, let us know! We can arrange to meet your party at Bohemian Flats Park at the beginning of the tour.

**What to bring:

- Wear lightweight clothing that you wouldn’t mind getting wet - hot tip, have a dry layer in your car to change into after just in case.

- Hats and sunglasses for the glare off the water

- Sunscreen/Water bottle - guides should have extra, but we encourage use of a reusable water bottle to lessen reliance on single-use plastics.

- Snacks for your guide - just kidding, but never a bad idea for yourself
