Route Description from : Lindsey

Start at Chambers Grove Public Boat Launch (nearest start point launch to start of St. Louis River Estuary Trail which is located at Dam (unable to launch from dam due to restrictions), will follow St. Louis River Estuary Trail to Grassy Point Trail Head as appears on the official map: https://www.stlouisriver.org/national-water-trail-map. However Lindsey experienced some difficulty at the take-out so future FKP attempts on this route will need to discuss with FKP management and agree upon a take out (the Arrowhead ramp in Wisconsin seems to be a good option; it’s the same distance from the start and Lindsey saw a sign saying they only charge a fee to launch motorized boats)
