After leaving the headwaters, it’s time to cross a group of lakes. First stop is Lake Bemidji. From there, we approach the most northern point of the river and then arrive to our first major portage around a dam. This episode is ALL ABOUT LAKES! We end it by paddling through the 5th largest lake in Minnesota, Lake WInnibigoshish!

We visit two lock and dam points on the Mississippi River. Lock and dam # 9 and # 10. At 10:30 at night at lock # 10 near Guttenberg, Iowa, we watched a tow break into two sections to make it through the lock. A couple days later, we visited lock & dam # 9 for some wonderful action. From loaded tows to crusiers to fishing boats, the lock was busy and we stayed a couple of hours.
