Mankato, Minnesota, offers a wide variety of adventurous activities, and throughout our visit, we managed to fit in quite a few! We spent our days biking the trails, kayaking down the Blue Earth River, watching bison and waterfalls at Minneopa State Park, sipping on drinks...
Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri, is a region that is filled with a wide range of adventurous opportunities. We were invited by Visit Table Rock Lake to discover the fabulous nature around the area, and we couldn’t wait to jump in and explore. Table...
“All forward” our guide yelled out. Right on cue, everyone in our boat began to paddle as we blasted through our first set of rapids. We were white water rafting in Spokane, Washington, with Wiley E. Waters and it sure was an exciting way to...
Located in the far reaches of northern Minnesota, lies the wilderness of the Gunflint Trail and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). This area is dotted with forests, lakes, rivers, wildlife, and beautiful vistas in every direction. One of the most popular adventures in...
We've done quite a bit of urban kayaking lately, and one of the most recent excursions was paddling in our hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota. We went kayaking on the Mississippi River and Minnesota River with Minnesota Adventure Co. and had a wonderful morning out...
If there is a body of water nearby, it’s a safe bet to assume we will try to find a way to paddle. Clear Lake in Canada’s Riding Mountain National Park was no exception. We joined a midmorning tour and were excited to get out...

We have been kayaking in so many different places—in lakes, rivers, you name it. But we have yet to even make a dent in exploring all the lakes in our home state (there are mover than 11,000 lakes in Minnesota after all!). One of our...
Paddling through the city is a completely different experience than kayaking in the wilds of nature. Kayaking is one of our favorite adventures, but it isn't all that often that we have an opportunity to paddle through an urban setting. During my trip to Milwaukee...
Kayaking is always one of our favorite adventures, and we try to get out for a paddle any chance we get. So, when we were road tripping through the Southern Finger Lakes region and had the opportunity to hop in kayaks for an afternoon, we...
As we launched our kayaks into the calm waters, we marveled at the peaceful setting that unfolded in front of us. The deep blue water contrasted sharply with the neon green algae floating on the lake’s surface, while sandstone bluffs poked out through the thick...
