Gogebic/Ontonagon county, Steigers Bridge to South Boundary Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-V     8.4 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Michigan is often easier than elsewhere, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The Steigers Bridge to South Boundary Road section of Presque Isle in Gogebic/Ontonagon County is 8.4 miles long and is a class III-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. 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. The scenic beauty of Michigan and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length
for a morning trip. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The wild scenery of the Gogebic Range is great.

things to do here in the Gogebic Range, too magnificent to be true.
