Trip Reports

Sept 30 - Manistee River NCT hike & paddle

Published on 9/30/2017

Perfect weather for my first fall hike & paddle. A frosty start on the NCT from Dell Rd to Old US 131 Campground with John W, his dog Piper, Mike & Barb, Bob F, Bert, and Rick & Mary Beth, approx 8 miles in 3 hrs. Bob B joined us for lunch at the campground & for our 3 hr, 10 mile paddle on the Manistee to Baxter Bridge. Not much fall colors along the trail or river yet, but still only September. What great companionship for a full day of fall fun!!! Report by Trip Leader, Sara Cockrell
