Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office Posted a safety alert for the Rum river:
SAFETY ALERT: For those who are planning on a trip down the Rum River from Onamia, MN, the Soo Line Trail trestle in Onamia is completely blocked off by floating bog that got swept down the river. This is a very dangerous situation for anyone planning a canoe/kayak trip from Onamia. You must put into the Rum River south of the old Trestle. This blockage has the potential to pull craft/people under the blockage and become trapped. Please DO NOT put in the Rum River at the Onamia Dam. Thank you and please be safe.

Thanks for the post of that information.

Good to know!
