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.
