The St. Louis River Alliance is excited to invite you to a free, family-friendly Annual Canoe + Paddle Trip! This cherished tradition returns on Wednesday, September 11th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Munger Landing Public Access (Clyde Ave, Duluth, MN 55808). Come explore one of the newly designated routes of the stunning St. Louis River Estuary National Water Trail and see the many improvements at Munger Landing. Whether you’re a new or seasoned paddler, this trip is a fantastic chance to immerse yourself in the river’s breathtaking beauty.

This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, so be sure to register early! All non-motorized watercrafts are allowed (canoe, kayak, standup paddle board, etc.) and community members are encouraged to bring their own gear if they have it. The St. Louis River Alliance will provide 12 canoes, PFDs, and paddles for free to the first registered attendees in need of gear. We will kick the event off with a safety introduction before heading out on the water as a group.

Registration is REQUIRED (even if you’re bringing your own gear). Please register by September 6th to reserve your space. 

A Few Things to Note:

• Parking: Please carpool if you are able, as parking space is limited.
  

• Weather: The event will take place rain or shine, but safety comes first. We’ll cancel if wind or weather conditions are unsafe.

• What to Bring: Appropriate clothing and layers for weather, water bottle, sunscreen, and boat/PFD if you own your own.

This event is made possible through generous financial support from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund in partnership with the City of Duluth.
