You can rent a canoe or kayak at Upper Sioux Agency State Park but it's also popular to fish along the bank at the riverside campground and other park locations. Memorial Park is another great spot to try some shore fishing. Both of these Minnesota River parks have campgrounds and you can even stay in a tipi at Upper Sioux!
Granite True Value has a great selection of camping and fishing supplies. Get your fishing license and bait at a Granite Falls institution, Willie's Korner Store.
