Access Points
These are easy paddle times. Head in the right direction and do a little bit of paddling. If you keep up steady pace and work at it expect to do it in half the time.If all you do is steer and not much paddling you can take twice as long. Times below are recommended times on the water and do not include stopping time.
Caution
It is not recommended to use tubes on this section of river.
There are some sections between Grayling and Burtons where there is a minimal amount of current.
Canoes and kayaks you can paddle through these slow spots. Tubes will barely move – if at all.
If you put tubes in expect your trip to Burtons to take 5+ hours.
