Abstract
The results of cooperative efforts of private groups and individuals and government-sponsored programs in developing little-used rivers for canoeing and related recreational activities in Wadena County, Minn., are described. The sponsoring activities, which began in 1964, included the clearing and developing of 14 campsites. In 1967, the economic and employment impacts associated with the development of the Crow Wing Canoe Trail occurred primarily in four local retail sectors. The current economic impact of the trail, while not large, provides a nucleus for a developing recreation complex in Wadena County, complementing other recreational enterprises.
