The scenic beauty of Michigan and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There's camping available near Presque Isle. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget
    that rivers here are less demanding. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your
car. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The beauty of the Gogebic Range is a great plus for this river. The Steigers Bridge to South Boundary Road stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system.
