The Crow River 17, organized by Two Paddles, is a 17-mile paddling event which begins on the Crow River at Crow-Hassan Park Reserve and ends on the Mississippi River in Anoka. The event offers a competitive race division as well as a non-competitive recreational tour. Paddle solo, tandem or as part of a team. Canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards—all self-powered boats are welcome.

Ten dollars from every registration will go to support water quality efforts across the rivers, streams and lakes within Three Rivers Park District, funding critical monitoring, testing and restoration work that keeps these waterways clean, healthy and thriving.
