Ryberg, Clyde N.
Conducted during a five-day canoe trip, this study was designed to gather information related to potential recreational-boating use of the Minnesota River. The narrative section provides daily entries on the author's river experience, including river conditions, fish and wildlife, and river towns. A listing of state parks and camping facilities along the river is included, as are recommendations for increasing recreational river use.
