Our time on the river to Deadstream Road should be about 3 hours.

 

We'll begin paddling at Veteran's Park campground, on the south side of US-31.  We can go out for lunch afterwards. 

 

Everyone should bring a boat, paddle, PFD, ropes to tie on the bow and stern, water bottle and a snack. Don't forget your sunhat and sunglasses with a retainer.  Bring a waterproof bag with a complete change of clothing, just in case of an unexpected swim break. 

  

Driving directions: Platte River (Upper section)

Veteran's Park campground, on the south side of US-31.  It's about eight miles west of Interlochen Corners, just west of the bridge where US-31 crosses the Platte River, just past the Fish Hatchery and Thompsonville Highway.
