GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE
ROUTE DESCRIPTION BRAINERD to LITTLE FALLS
Sand plains, a forest of mixed hardwoods, islands and undeveloped shoreline define this river section. Broad shallow areas create riffles during most of the year, which complicate navigation for all but canoes and similar small craft. Crow Wing State Park and Camp Ripley Military Reservation occupy much of the section. The river’s banks are undeveloped, even though the Twin Cities are about two hours south. Paddling is easy, the views are remarkable, and fishing is great. Researchers conducting a recreational study of the Mississippi found one gentleman who was on the river north of Little Falls almost daily during the open water season—which ended for him on the Monday after one cold Thanksgiving. Chunks of ice were floating down the river, but the angler took a day’s haul of smallmouth bass. River miles are counted upstream from the Mississippi’s confluence with the Ohio River, according to a system developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.Note: (R) and (L) refer to right bank and left bank, respectively, when facing downstream.
1006.5(L) French Rapids Access
1004.1(L) Rice Lake Access Access is located on the south end of the lake at Brainerd’s Lum Park. Drinking water, shelter, picnic area, fishing pier and swimming.
1004.1 Potlatch Dam Portage right 201 yds.
1003.4 (L) Evergreen Landing
1001.2 (L) Kiwanis Park The Mississippi leaves the City of Brainerd at Kiwanis Park. The City of Baxter extends downriver on the river’s right, or western bank. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Regional Headquarters is located on either side of the river, but generally, the corridor is wooded.
998.2 (L) Buffalo Creek Before settlement, this area was an open plain where buffalo grazed, and the journals of river explorers Zebulon Pike, Lewis Cass, and Henry Schoolcraft each record the explorer’s comments on the plain’s striking appearance.
995.8 (R) Baxter Campsite
997.0- (L) Crow Wing State Park989.5 The park has a variety of day use and overnight facilities, The historic Red River Ox Cart Trail leads the visitor through the town site of the once-prosperous Old Crow Wing, which now features picnic grounds. Interpretive exhibits and naturalists programs are provided at a shelter area. There is a boat launch one mile upstream from the confluence of the Mississippi and Crow Wing rivers; a primitive campsite 990.5 (R) Crow Wing River The Crow Wing is a 100 mile river with a gradient of 2.5 feet per mile. It is an excellent and popular canoeing stream.
and carry in access downstream of the confluence, and other camping options throughout the park. A State Park Vehicle Permit is required.
982.3 (L) Fort Ripley Landing The Nokasippi River meets the Mississippi River here. This was the original location of Fort Gaines, built in 1848 to protect Winnebago Indians who were brought to Minnesota during treaty negotiations with the Dakota and Ojibwe to provide a buffer; the fort also secured passage on the Woods Trail, which ran on the east side of the river, as Highway 371 does today. There is also a shorefishing area just downstream.
979.5 (R) Pipe Island Numerous islands in the river corridor are the result of the river’s profile and human use of the area. Logs were once floated downriver, and often caught midstream on the rocks and boulders. Jams of logs eventually became islands in the shallows of this river section, There are dozens of these islands in the channel. Watch for mud, and soft-shelled turtles sunning on exposed rocks and branches.
973.5 State Highway 115 This is the southern boundary of Camp Ripley.
972.6 (R) Fletcher’s Creek Landing & Campsite River access only for the public. Campsite on the right bank just downstream of the boat access. There is a private campground on the left, or east, bank. An island bisects the Mississippi below Fletcher’s Creek confluence with the Mississippi.
970.2 (L) Belle Prairie County Park This is a day use park. The Franciscan Sisters, whose church is near by, protect a beautiful stand of virgin white pine at the park.
967.9 (R) Little Elk River This is an historic Ojibwe village site. It is also the sight of the western-most fur trade post built by the French in the 18th century. Later a grain mill was built and a townsite planned, but they never developed.
967.1 U.S. Highway 10
965.8 (R) 4th Avenue Landing
965.7 LeBourget Park/5th Ave. Landing There are accesses on both sides of the river above the dam.
965.3 (L) Little Falls Dam, Access and Pier Built in the late 19th century the dam is now owned by Minnesota Power and used to generate electricity for town and for operations of Hennepin Power, located just downstream on the west bank. There is a public access on the river’s east bank. Portage left 325 yards, just downstream from the Hwy 27 bridge.
964.4 (L) Weyerhauser-Musser and Rosenmeier Homes Overlooking the Mississippi River and Little Falls’ river parks are two gracious older homes, built by the Weyerhauser and Musser families. Just east of those two houses is the home occupied by Gordon Rosenmeier, who had a distinguished career in the Minnesota Senate.
964.0- (R) Charles A. Lindbergh State Park and 963.2 Historic Site/ Pike Creek Landing The state park is upstream of the Mississippi’s confluence with Pike Creek, and the historic site is downstream of the confluence. Campsites are located one mile up Pike Creek. There is camping, boat access, modern facilities and interpretive programs at the park. The park is named for the Minnesota Congressman who was also the father of the aviator Charles Lindbergh. The family lived in the house before Charles A. Lindbergh’s election to Congress. The family spent summers in Little Falls in later years.
963.3 (R) Pike Creek Landing Concrete trailer access.

HEADWATERS RIVER TRAIL
The Mississippi River makes a question mark shape on the land as it travels from Lake Itasca to St. Cloud. You are invited to follow the Headwaters River Trail down the first 420 miles of the Mississippi River. At Lake Itasca, the Headwaters trickle over a stone ledge, where you can wade across the mighty river. Tributaries add momentum for the 2,348 mile trek to the Gulf of Mexico; groundwater contributes two-thirds of the Mississippi River’s initial flow. From the Headwaters, the river flows through nine lakes. Glacial hills, called moraines, and glacial depressions, now lakes and wetlands, create scenic views. Wetlands, marshes, and oxbows act as natural filtration systems, preserving waterquality. Rapids and riffles dot the entire river. Fishing is great!
River elevation drops 500 feet from Itasca to St. Cloud. Hydropower and water control dams require portages. A braided river pattern joins the Mesabi and Cuyuna Iron Ranges — 100 miles apart by road and 200 miles by river. The Cuyuna Range is the most rugged area of the Headwaters. Near Brainerd, development and agriculture increase with a more defined channel; natural characteristics are preserved. The Mississippi Headwaters Board is an eight-county joint powers board organized to protect the natural, cultural, scenic, scientific and recreational values identified in the Mississippi Headwaters Guide Book. The Headwaters is an extraordinary place for wildlife and rare plants. Citizens protect the Mississippi River at its Headwaters to help provide safe drinking water to millions of people downstream in St. Cloud and the Twin Cities, and in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.Choose a wilderness experience or visit parks with a variety of facilities. Either way you will see a unique place and meet the people who live here. The Mississippi River is a fun place to visit.
PLANNING A SAFE RIVER TRIP
A successful river trip is safe. To enjoy a safe journey, you should be prepared. You should be acquainted with your route. Choose a distance that is comfortable for you. Water levels can speed you or slow you: get information about water levels from the regional DNR office, or check the river level gauges listed in the route description section of this map. Protect the water and shorelands and leave nothing behind you except footprints. Remember that much of the shorelands are privately owned.
Trip Planning• Travel with a companion or group. Plan your trip with a map before you depart and advise someone of your plans including planned departure and arrival times.• Most people paddle two to three river miles per hour.• Lake Bemidji, Cass Lake and Lake Winnibigoshish can be dangerous; stay within swimming distance of shore. If you are uncomfortable with large open water, plan to use a vehicle to portage around the lakes. • Bring a first aid kit that includes waterproof matches.
• Be cautious of river obstructions, such as overhanging and dead trees in the river.
• You must pack out all trash.• Leave only footprints; take only photographs!
Rest Areas and Camping Sites• Public rest areas are available along the route to rest, picnic and explore.
t
• Camp only in designated campsites, which are available on a first come-first served basis.• Bring drinking water. It is only available at a limited number of rest areas. Drinking river water is no recommended, but if you do it must be treated.• Respect private property. Stop only at designated sites; much of the shoreland is private property.• Be sanitary! Use designated toilet facilities or bury human waste away from the river.
Boating Information• Wear a U. S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device.
• Bring an extra paddle.• Not all portions of this water trail are suitable for motor use.• Register your watercraft. All watercraft more than 9 feet in length, including nonmotorized canoes and kayaks, must be registered in Minnesota or your state of residence.
ABOUT THIS RIVER SECTIONBrainerd to Little Falls
The Mississippi River completes its circuit around the high lands of northern Minnesota as it approaches Brainerd from the northeast. The river flows out of the forest and wetlands of northern Minnesota and into a narrow valley, bounded by broad sandplains. The main channel is quite broad, but broken up by islands. The Crow Wing River flows southeasterly to the Mississippi from a system of lakes lying east of the Mississippi headwaters at Lake Itasca. Minnesota’s eastern forests and western prairies intersect at the confluence of these two rivers. The Nokasippi River drains the lowlands of Crow Wing County from just east of Mille Lacs Lake. Below the confluence with the Nokasippi River, the Mississippi flows through a flat valley formed by glacial outwash material that is now bounded by hills on either side. The shoreline is vegetated, and the lands just beyond are cultivated for farming. The water table is very shallow, making the sandplain area quite productive. Local farmers draw water from the Mississippi for irrigation and a gravel operation also taps this resource. The Mississippi’s channel is underlain by rocky bars that create riffles and make navigation difficult for even the smallest boat’s motor. These riffles create small standing waves in the channel. The system of riffles begins at Pipe Island, about three river miles below the Nokasippi, and continues down river to the State Highway 115 bridge, the southern boundary of Camp Ripley. Good water quality supports an excellent game fish population including muskie, walleye, smallmouth bass and northern pike. The original prairies bordering the Mississippi were three to five miles long and one mile wide. These sand plains were covered in prairie plants, which adapted to open and dry areas. The prairie vole and the upland sandpiper live here. Watch for deer, raccoon, bear, muskrat, beaver, turtles, waterfowl, hawks and eagles along the shore. A prominent glacial feature of this section is the Ripley esker, lying just east of the Mississippi. This sinuous ridge was created by the deposit of sediments where a stream once ran under a glacier. The ridge’s west slope is mostly open and dominated by a remnant oak savanna and dry prairie. In contrast, the east slope supports a diverse deciduous woods, including maple and basswood. The actual esker is about three miles long. A section of the esker is owned by the Nature Conservancy and is protected as a Minnesota Scientific and Natural Area.
Camp Ripley Military Reservation is located on the river’s west bank. It extends 18 river miles downstream from the confluence with the Crow Wing River. The land is owned by the State of Minnesota and managed by the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs. The Camp covers 53,000 acres and serves as a training facility for National Guard and MNDNR units. Camp Ripley supports numerous environmental programs, and special uses of its lands, such as deer hunting for disabled veterans. Timberwolves have made a comeback here. The Camp is known today for its winter training programs, and hosts troops from around the world. Troops have been stationed here since the early 19th century. Downstream of Camp Ripley, the Mississippi’s channel is broken by the Thousand Islands, created about 100 years ago when logs jammed the shallow river. The largest log jam in the world formed north of Little Falls in 1893-4. It started at the Northern Pacific railroad bridge and extended up the Mississippi some 6-1/2 miles long, 1/2 mile wide and 30 to 60 feet deep. There were about 4-1/2 billion board feet of lumber in the jam. It took 150 men, five teams of horses, and one steam engine about six months to break it up. Some logs remained in place, gathering sediment and eventually becoming the islands that break the river’s path today. Just upstream of Little Falls, Belle Prairie Park offers day use. A Catholic mission was established here in the 19th century, led by Father Pierz, who traveled extensively throughout the lands held by Ojibwe people. A stand of virgin white pine is tended by the Franciscan Sisters who operate a convent and boarding school east of the river. A replica of the original log cabin convent
can be seen next to the Belle Prairie church. Belle Prairie Park contains a remnant of the Red River Ox Cart Trail, which linked fur trading posts in the Red River Valley with St. Paul, before the Civil War. The confluence of the Mississippi and the Little Elk River, just north of Little Falls, is the site of Fort Duquesne, a colonial outpostbuilt by the Marins, an
influential family who controlled the French interest west of Green Bay in the early 1750s. The area was also home to Ojibway leader Hole-In-The-Day, the site of a church mission and an early town site.

SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEMS Outdoor recreation is dependent on a healthy and attractive natural environment. Sustainable outdoor recreation enables people to enjoy the outdoors without negative impacts on the environment. Communities working together can improve water resources by promoting environmentally sensitive land-use practices along rivers and throughout watersheds. Natural shoreline buffers improve water quality by filtering out pollutants and sediments. Healthy and diverse native shoreline plant communities are attractive and provide important habitat for birds and wildlife.

A STATE WATER TRAIL GUIDE TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER“The Mississippi here traverses the immense plains which extend to the Missouri, and which present to the eye a spectacle at once interesting and fatiguing. Scarcely the slightest variation in the surface occurs, and they are entirely destitute of timber. In this debatable land, the game is very abundant; buffaloes, elks and deer range unharmed and unconscious of harm.” Lewis Cass, 1820
