Survey of Sea Kayak Owners in Minnesota
At present, a forty mile stretch of the Water Trail has been developed in Minnesota along the North Shore from Two Harbors to just north of Little Marais near the Cook County line. Before providing additional amenities and maps for the Water Trail, the MN DNR wanted to get some background information about sea kayaking on the Trail and on the North Shore in general. The MN DNR wanted to know—among other things—how much the Trail and associated kayaking facilities are being used, what sea kayakers are looking for in terms of facilities/services and experiences on the Trail, and what barriers exist to the further use of Lake Superior by sea kayakers.
