🚣 21 mile active paddle 🚣

Join us for this do-over of this 8th journey in our quest to traverse the entire Muskegon River. You can look up the post from our first try in late November. It was crazy! This time, though, we’re coming prepared for any tree-fall by bringing saws and come-alongs. And hopefully the higher water and more daylight this spring will help.

This trip is about 21 miles at a good pace of +/- 4 mph. If you’re into leisurely floats, it’s certainly not that. We’ll stop a few times for lunch, stretching, and pee breaks. We encountered double digit portages last time, so, of course, we’re hoping for less. But I’m going to guess more than zero.

📍Put in location:
White Birch Campground
5569 S Paradise Rd, Falmouth, MI. 49632

📍Take out location:
Jonesville Rd near the Leota Trail. The coordinates are: 44.153344, -84.860004
- on the GoPaddling app this is called Jonesville Road Launch

⏰ Schedule:
8:00 meet at the put in
8:30 leave to spot cars at the take out
9:30 arrive back at the put in
10:00 in the water and go!

** Make sure you bring a PFD, water, food, and safety gear **

** Please be on time and handle your boat efficiently. It’s about a 2 hour drive from GR so plan accordingly. Thanks! **

Looking forward to another great day on the River.
