The scenic beauty of Ingham County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Michigan are often easier than 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. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but you'd better reserve in advance
    because these hotels fill up quick. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. The MSU Wave section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. This is an extremely short section so it's not like you're gonna
spend hours on the river in one stretch. The put-in is not too far from Lansing-East Lansing, as you can see on the road map further down. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here.
