Here in Minnesota we pay about $17 for a three-year permit, and I think that at least a portion of the money is devoted to river and lake access, though how much of that is for canoes and kayaks, I don't know. The former head of the Trails and Waterways division of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources used to be on Paddlewise. If he still is, maybe he could enlighten us. Only a sticker about 3.5" square is required on non-motorized watercraft. Speaking of kayaking government officials, Barbara West, the outgoing supervisor of Voyageurs National Park, has actively promoted sea kayaking in the park. She will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Inland Sea Kayakers club at the R.E.I. store in Bloomington next week.
