 +      * 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."​
