My family is planning on going white water rafting sometime in the
next couple weeks. We have never done this before. I was just
curious to hear where you guys think is the best place to go. We are
from the quad cities and would like to go somewhere within 8 or 9
hours.


The only one that I have seen (haven't gotten friends together for it yet)
is on the St Louis River, just south of Duluth MN. If you are into camping,
Jay Cooke park is right there.
