Mississippi River
Barges moving on the river. When we lived in Minneapolis we logged over 8000 miles pleasure boating on "The River" and encountered much barge traffic and went thru locks hundreds of times. All can be very dangerous.

Lake Minnetonka

Lake Pepin
A 22 mile long widening of the Mississippi River - we would boat down thru this lake and primitive camp on a sandbar with the children about 5 miles south of it. Lake Pepin was the birthplace of water skiing.
