Weeklong canoe/kayak trip will travel Root and Mississippi Rivers from Rushford, MN down to Prairie du Chien, WI
Participants in the 2017 Great River Rumble, an annual canoe and kayak trip, will paddle from Rushford, MN on the Root River to Prairie du Chien, WI on the Mississippi River between July 29 and August 5 this year. The weeklong river adventure is expected to attract nearly 200 people from across the nation, and will include a pair of local overnight stops in Lansing and Harpers Ferry this year.
Experienced paddlers are invited to join the trip, which includes camping by the rivers. With a truck to haul gear from one campsite to the next, paddlers carry only what they need for the day, such as lunch, water and sunscreen.
