Cruise up the Le Sueur River from the confluence to the Cobb River. Accessed from the Minnesota River in Mankato, up the Blue Earth River, and up to the Le Sueur River. The Le Sueur River is a very shallow, very rocky river but due to high water I was able to navigate it quite easily.

Paddling the Big Cobb River. The level was 4 feet according to the bridge gauge. Removed an ugly hanging branch strainer to clear the way for everybody else and reduce the need for portaging.
