About this event
Our trip on the AuSable will begin in Grayling and end at Stephan Bridge. The river distance is 13 miles and the paddling time should be about 3.5 hours. It's a perfect Northern Michigan river to explore, and should be a fun experience for canoeists and kayakers of all abilities. Since the area is so far inland from the Great Lakes, we should get some nice fall colors.
The Main AuSable is a wonderful place to practice your maneuvering skills. In the summertime, the AuSable is filled with rental canoes, but in late September, we probably won't see many other paddlers. We may meet some people fishing along the way, but otherwise, it should be a peaceful float, with good opportunities for wildlife sightings.
