About this event
This is a lovely stretch of river that flows through the Mason Tract, a sanctuary that has been donated to the state and is set aside as a natural area. Paddlers of all levels (even kids) will enjoy a delightful outing on this scenic stream. The water is fairly shallow (with a sand bottom).
We will have a leisurely paddle from Steckert Bridge to Smith Bridge, including a lunch stop at the site of Durant’s Castle. If time permits, we can also stop at the open air chapel alongside the river. The travel time from Traverse City is about an hour and a half, but it's worth it!
We will run the shuttle from Paddle Brave Campground and Canoes. See driving directions on our website; go to South Branch of the AuSable (Paddle Brave). Or use the Mapquest link above.
