It's still summer!  Wear shorts and paddle a little to celebrate September in northern Michigan!  No need to leave town to paddle a lovely stream! 

This will be a short trip on our hometown river.  You will marvel at the remote feeling you get without driving very far from home.  Paddling time should be less than 2 hours.  
 
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! 

Afterwards we can go out for lunch if you like.

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.
