The fall expedition comes at a time when mosquitoes and black flies will not be a hindrance to enjoying a woodland-surrounded waterway that is designated as a Minnesota State Wild and Scenic River. Beginning at Tree Farm Landing south of Akeley, paddlers will explore the river and enjoy camping in cool weather. The mini get-away ends just north of Nimrod before the confluence with the Redeye River. A pre-trip meeting will be held at 7 p.m. October 6 at the OPC, located in the lower level of the Hobson Memorial Union.
Trip cost includes transportation, equipment and food.
