PARK RAPIDS-For the fifth year, activists with Minnesota environmentalist group Honor the Earth will tour the state-and, for the first time, Wisconsin-on horseback to protest multiple pipeline projects.

The Love Water Not Oil Tour kicked off on July 9 in Madison, Wis. On Friday, participants were scheduled to stop on Madeline Island, then travel to Duluth.

The tour is set to end in Bemidji on Aug. 10, at a location yet to be determined. The 2016 event also wrapped up here, with a concert and rally held at Rail River Folk School.

This year's tour has expanded in order to fight the proposed expansion of energy company Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline. The current Line 3, built in the 1960s, runs from Alberta, Canada, through northern Minnesota to Superior, Wis. Enbridge hopes to decommission the aging line and build a new one; Honor the Earth opposes the plan.
