Sat Oct 6: All Day Trippin' Down the Chippewa

Registration deadline is Saturday Sep, 29. !Tomorrow!
Call the Chippewa Nature Center at 989-631-0830 for more information
Most paddle trips on the Chippewa River are just a couple of hours, but this time out, make a whole day of it!
[body]
We’ll put in at Magruder Road and paddle all the way to our main canoe launch (just past the Pine/Chippewa confluence), with a lunch break at Midland County's Manitou Park and another rest stop at CNC's Chippewa River Access Site (near Meridian Road). (Facilities are not exciting at either place – both have pit toilets.)

The Magruder Road site is not an easy put-in site – a steep bank with a healthy poison ivy population, but once you’re in, it’s a beautiful stretch of river!

At Manitou Park, the trail up to the restrooms and picnic area is quite steep, so we’ll just tie our boats up at the bank.

In the past, this trip was an "adventure for women only", but this time we're opening it up to all genders, so gentlemen, pack your lunches! Participants should dress for changing weather conditions through the day, and bring beverages/sack lunch/snacks.

Member $28, Non-member $35. Ages 18+
