River Chart - Minnesota

The following is a table of rivers for which I have compiled various bits of information. Highlighted in blue are the ones I have actually paddled. Highlighted in yellow are rivers which I have not run, nor heard of any runs upon, nor seen any descriptions of, but which could bear checking out sometime. The inclusion of these on this list should not be taken as implication of runnability at any normal waterlevel. Some of these streams are very small, and may not be feasible under any circumstance. (If you have any info or experience with them, I'd love to have you pass it along!)
