About this event
This is an area that we haven't cleaned up in the past. This is a wide shallow section of river that enters the Tippy Dam Backwater. Join us for a section of the river we have had a trip on. This sounds like a great cleanup. Should be a lot of fun. Discover a new part of the Pine.
The kind folks at Pine River Paddlesports Center will give us a free shuttle. If you would like to use one of their rental boats, let me know and we will arrange that too.
This trip will give you a chance to practice precise maneuvering skills in your boat. If you’ve never paddled the Pine, and would like a guide, here’s your chance. If you’ve spent as much time on it as we have, here’s the opportunity to give back and leave it cleaner than we found it.
The Pine has exceptionally clear water, and is one of the prettiest rivers in northern Michigan. We will paddle for a couple of hours, then take a break for lunch, and continue on downstream picking up debris as we go. It would be best to bring a boat that turns easily, as well as a "grabber stick". We will bring large trash bags; please bring some small ones.
