The route less paddled: Minnesotans canoe to Arctic Circle in 105 days

This summer was a decent one for paddling in area lake in a canoe or kayak. Those who are adventurous love paddling the Boundary Waters for a longer canoe experience. Two Minnesotans have taken their love of canoeing to another level. Zach Fritz and Taylor Rau have just returned after canoeing from Minnesota to Canada’s Arctic Circle. It’s a more than 2,700 mile journey they did over the course of 105 days this summer. They dubbed their trip “The Route Less Paddled.” Fritz and Rau joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to share more on their epic adventure.
