BRULE CANOE FIELD GUIDE

A full 3-day, 2-night guided canoe or kayak expedition down the River of Presidents — camping in Brule River State Forest with gear and shuttling provided.
Three Days on the Bois Brule: Stones Bridge to Lake Superior by Canoe.
Paddle the entire “River of Presidents” on a compact, three-day expedition that threads the Bois Brule State Forest from tranquil upper reaches, through meadowed middle stretches, and into the lower river’s whitewater before spilling onto the shore of Lake Superior. Nights are spent in riverside camps within Brule River State Forest; the operator supplies paddling gear, wetsuits and boots, and an advanced shuttle service so you can travel light and focus on the river.

What the day feels like
What the three-day paddle feels like
This is a paced river journey: mornings spent launching and covering miles through changing river characters, afternoons arriving at designated riverside camps in Brule River State Forest, and an evolving challenge as the river moves from gentle meadow channels into the lower whitewater before the final approach to Lake Superior. The trip is offered in kayak or canoe and is organized to include equipment, wetsuits, boots and shuttle support.
