Video of Elfsteden Rowing Marathon relay in the Netherlands from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ZTV6cVnME and http://www.elfstedenroeimarathon.nl/elfstedentocht . Because it’s watered throughout, the Hennepin provides an excellent source of flatwater paddling. As DNR indicates there are 29 miles (46.7 km) of flatwater portage-free paddling in the feeder canal as well as shorter sections between the locks in the main canal section (see also Canal Facts tab on this website). (See the Illinois Paddling Council's website as well as Chicago paddling for additional information.) While the locks and some of the bridges need to be portaged on the Hennepin, they are never that difficult given the easy access of the trail.
