SE Minnesota Trout Stream Advice

My friend just bought a hunting place near Canton, and I was hoping to go up and check it out. He says there's lots of creeks, including one that runs close to his property/Cabin there. I think, based on his address he's off of 18 about half way between either stream, but I am willing to explore, I just need some starting advice.

Appreciate any advice on gear or entry points or things I should know...Secrets are great, but just enough to get started is what I'm hoping you can share.
