Take a 17-mile paddle down the Tahquamenon River from the Lower Falls to the Rivermouth at Whitefish Bay. This paddle trip takes about 6-8 hours depending on how fast you paddle, as you might want to stop for a picnic lunch on the riverbank, dip your feet in the river, or try your luck fishing.

Rentals are also available if you want to take a shorter trip on the Tahqnamenon River, go fishing, or just paddle around.

Canoes are also available for use on local inland lakes such as Andrus Lake, Culhane Lake, Bodi Lake, or Pike Lake for a flat paddle or some fishing. Please call or e-mail for information and availability.
