Michigan whitewater, Presque Isle 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 spots in Michigan are easier than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. The Steigers Bridge to South Boundary Road section of Presque Isle in Michigan is 8.4 miles long and it is classified as a class III-V section by American Whitewater. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. The starting location is     a short drive from Merrill, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. The wild scenery of the Gogebic Range is great. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. The natural beauty of Michigan and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water   attract people from near and far. Briefly about the general area: Hiking along the Rainbow Falls Trail is splendid fun, and the smiling folks of Wakefield like to hang out close by. So many entertaining things to do here in the Gogebic Range, too fine to be true. The beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Ogimakwe Falls; a day on the slopes of Indianhead is just what you need. This river is so perfect. Abinodji Falls is an inspiring location to pop by while you're here. A tremendous location like Porcupine Mountains State Park next to Presque Isle is too perfect to leave out.
