Michigan whitewater - Baltimore River, Gogebic Range, Ontonagon County

Ontonagon county, Highway 45 to Highway 45 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV+     5.4 miles
  The Highway 45 to Highway 45 stretch of Baltimore River is 5.4 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV+ section by American Whitewater. The average Michigan whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. The scenic beauty of Ontonagon County and the water flowing gracefully down Baltimore River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Highway 45 to Highway 45 stretch is the only paddling stretch
    along Baltimore River. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. No matter if you're
whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The Gogebic Range scenery is wonderful.

Briefly about the general area:
An average amount of rain falls at Baltimore River; most of the rain falls all through August, and the driest of the months is February. A spree to Baltimore River wouldn't be complete without taking a look at O Kun
 
de Kun Falls, and there's wonderful hiking along the North Country National Scenic Trail.
Through the months of summer here at Baltimore River, high temperatures typically reach the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures dip down into the 50's. For the duration of the winter highs are regularly in the 10's, and night lows in the-10's for Baltimore River. But wait, there's more amusing stuff to do in the Gogebic Range.
