The Cloquet access point provides boat and canoe launch access to the St. Louis River in Carlton County. This is a convenient put-in for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the middle section of the St. Louis River, which features a mix of wooded banks and scenic bluffs as you move through the area.
The St. Louis River in this reach flows across relatively gentle terrain with low-lying woods and bogs characteristic of the middle stretch. This section offers a more accessible paddling experience compared to the upper river reaches. Canoeists and kayakers should note that the watershed is bordered to the north by the Mesabi Iron Range. As with any Minnesota river access, consult current water conditions and Minnesota Department of Health fish consumption advisories before your trip.
