Route description
Designated a Wild and Scenic River, the Crow River leads paddlers through rural landscapes just outside of the metropolitan area. The river banks, forested with maple, basswood, and elm, are occasionally interrupted with gently rolling farmlands. Chances to see wildlife are plenty and sightings of great-blue herons, white-tail deer, and bald eagles are common.
