| + | * DNR advice about paddling through the Lift Bridge channel (Minnesota) or further south near the Wisconsin Point Lighthouse: "When using the Minnesota and Wisconsin entrances, be aware that while inbound ships are easily spotted at some distance, the outbound ships are not visible from the end of the entrances. When paddling through the entrances, stay to the right side in order to not give up your right-of-way. Obtain a chart of the Duluth Harbor for specifics regarding shipping lanes." | ||

| - | * Tim Traynor about **surfski surfing at Stoney Point**: "Larger waves start farther out. The shelf at Stoney extends out close to 300 meters so on the biggest days the waves will start nearly out there. ... I was staying a bit to the left of the main surf area so I was in a little deeper water where the waves are slower to stand but can go critical and crash hard fairly close to shore on bigger days. I always surf left towards deeper water and try to keep the break to my right. The shallowest water I was in was probably 4-5 feet." | + | * Tim Traynor about **surfski surfing at Stoney Point**: "Larger waves start farther out.
