Our rafting trips through Piers Gorge and down the Sturgeon River are by paddle rafts and accommodate 7-8 people. Rafters have paddles and help maneuver the raft through the white water and around the rocks on our exciting trip. We use a “Duckie” or an inflatable kayak, for a fun scenic trip down Horserace Rapids.
PIERS GORGE on the MENOMINEE RIVER
Take a thrilling ride through the gorge, a class IV rapids, as you paddle the raft by rugged bluffs and stunning scenery. Rafters must be 11 years old and at least 100 pounds. Younger or lighter children over 4 years old accompanied by an adult may ride to the Piers Gorge Trail and watch the rafters as they head down this challenging river.
