Overview

Three major watersheds begin in northern Minnesota. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca. On the other side of its source, over a watershed divide, rivers and lakes flow north to Hudson Bay. Also near these two high elevation points, another watershed parts the waters that flow east through the Great Lakes and ultimately down to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. When I was twenty years old, I canoed down the Mississippi River. Ten years later, I paddled from Minnesota north to Hudson Bay. Five years after that, I paddled east through the Great Lakes, following an old established route all the way to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Each trip took a full summer. I had three different companions who joined me. Each journey was unique in its direction and experiences. My book describes these experiences.

Author Information

I was raised in Minneapolis. At the age of nineteen I moved to the North Shore of Lake Superior, where I found a fascination with the natural world in every respect, especially the waterways and canoeing as a vehicle for exploration. I have tried living in many other places, but I'm always drawn back to Lake Superior, where I continue to enjoy paddling trips as well as long backpacking trips.
