In this adventure, we head to the beautiful Root River in southeastern Minnesota. The meandering Root is an 80-mile tributary of the Mississippi River. The Root flows through the Driftless Area of southeastern Minnesota.

The Paddle & Portage Podcast took a fall trip down the Root River, catching trout from the clear waters in Lanesboro, and paddling a stretch of river outside of town. We also talk with local paddler Stena Lieb, Allie Palmer from Paddle On Coffee and the Root River Inn & Suites, and Ken Soiney from River Rats Outfitters.

Join us as we head from the Boundary Waters to the Driftless across the great state of Minnesota.

This episode is supported by Cooke Custom Sewing and Borderland Lodge.
