No need to leave town to paddle a lovely stream!  This will be a small group trip on our hometown river.  It's a holiday weekend, but this section shouldn't be too crowded since we plan to be on the water fairly early.  You will marvel at the remote feeling you get without driving very far from home.  Paddling time should be less than 2 hours.  If you were hoping to catch the NCF Air Show, we'll be done in time. 
 
There will likely be several fun riffles along the way.  The current is quick, but the river is wide enough to be easily negotiated by adventurous beginners.  It's a good place to practice maneuvering in current and practicing those back ferries! 
 

Boardman River (Forks)

Take Supply Road southeast from the Traverse City area to Brown Bridge Road, just past the bridge over the river.  Turn west and drive about ½ mile to the river access.
