Trip Reports

August 27-Pigeon River SFCG to Webb Rd

Ron Coyne | Published on 8/29/2022
The Pigeon river for the State Forest Campgrounds to Webb Road according to Canoeing Michigan Rivers is almost an impossible trip to do. But six adventurous souls Linnaea M, Mike R, Jocelyn T, Paul W, Lambert A and me Ron C. had to find out for ourselves.

Flow rate 50 cfs
Height 2.15 ft.
Note. A little more flow and height would make for a better trip

Hey this doesn't look so bad at the put in 



Uh oh directly behind me is the entrance to the locally famous " TUNNEL OF DOOM " 



A river monster grabs a hold of Mike



Happy to be through the Tunnel of Doom we stopped at Tin Bridge for lunch



Still a lot to navigate downstream of Tin Bridge



One of surprisingly only 2 portages



4-1/2 hours and 10 miles later we all survived but feel changed by the " TUNNEL OF DOOM"
