Bike Rafting and Packrafting Community and routes in Minnesota

USA Midwest
1

Hello APA community! My name is Michael Hartley! I’m new to packrafting and bike rafting and I am very excited to get out there. This is a general inquiry to the local community looking for partners, educators and potential new community members. I would love to connect with anyone looking to build local community around packrafting/bike rafting. I am also developing routes along the St. Croix River currently and would be excited to connect about other peoples routes in the area.

Hi there! Thanks so much for posting on the APA Forum. One of our Board Members is based in Michigan and plans to reach out. There was also just an inquiry from another Minnesota paddler the other day, so we’ll suggest they reach out to you here!

Glad to see the stoke!

I’m based in Chicago and enjoy packrafting and bike rafting. A few fun day trip options for me locally but find my self looking at MI,WI & MN options for extended trips. Would love to know more and connect.

Thanks!

Steve,

Thanks for reaching out. I would enjoy connecting about your ideas and thoughts on how to organize around our passions and what type of routes you’re looking for as well.
