Michigan whitewater - Pine River, Lake County

Lake county, Edgetts to Lincoln Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     16 miles
  The Edgetts to Lincoln Bridge section of Pine River is 16 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. The average Michigan whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend
    some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. The scenic beauty of Lake County and the cool fresh water beats anything. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other places. The Edgetts to Lincoln Bridge stretch
is the only paddling stretch along Pine River. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
