Mississippi Headwaters Canoe Trail Promises Wilderness Recreation
Clark Stave touts the Mississippi Headwaters route from Itasca headwaters to Bemidji as an undeveloped yet scenic wilderness trek. RC and D staff note two established trails and several potential routes on Clearwater, Wild Rice, Schoolcraft, Crow Wing, Necktie, Fish Hook, and Black Rivers with local groups aiding land acquisitions and site work. A three day journey along undeveloped terrain offers camping, fires, and basic facilities, with best boating season ending by mid July.
