Canoe Rentals & Trips on the Pine River
The Pine is simply the best paddlesports river in lower Michigan. It is in both the Michigan Natural Rivers Program and the United States Wild & Scenic Rivers System. With several access sites, you can plan a trip most any length you desire. If you are looking for more than just a day trip, the numerous campgrounds along and near the Pine make it a great stream for a two or three day canoe trip.
Canoe Rentals & Trips on the Big Manistee River
Regardless of your skill-level or ability, we have a Big Manistee River canoe trip to suit the needs of you, your family, and friends. Are you new to paddling or unfamiliar with the waters of the Big Manistee? We can put you on a flat-water stretch, a quiet water stretch, or an intermediate stretch of this beautiful, forested river. From a 2-hour stretch to 10 days, the Big Manistee offers a trip length for everyone!
