Fishing Boats

17 ft aluminum canoes for 2 people.

Available Trips:

6 Mile: 2 - 2 1/2 hours from Thornapple Landing to the Railroad Bridge at Wisner's in Newaygo.

12 Mile: 4-5 hours from Croton Dam to the Railroad Bridge at Wisner's in Newaygo. Picnic and swimming stops will add to the length of your trip. Because of the length of the trip, it is available to experienced canoers only. Remember: You can make the short trip longer, but you can't make the long trip shorter.

Canoes are excellent if you are traditional or just have an urge to be on the water but have only a limited amount of time or if you have more time and would like to do some fishing. Rafts are great, but there's no chance of a fish hook putting a hole in a canoe, if you know what we mean.

Mixes well with:
Kayaks. If you're with Rafters or Tubers, expect to pull over and wait for them because you'll travel about twice as fast.

Anderson's Flats: 3 hour trip downriver. Available by request for larger groups during the week only.

Rafting is the way to go! Experience the peace of the river on a raft. They are very difficult to tip over so they're ideal for kids and those who'd like to forego chasing their stuff and paddles down the river. You can straddle the sides like a horse or lay with your back on one side with your feet propped on the other. For additional comfort, choose a larger raft.

If you're really special or just in the "Queen of Sheeba" mood, ask and we'll make sure you end up with only one paddle

So you can just "direct".

Mixes well with:
Tubes. If you're with Canoers or Kayakers, they should expect to pull over and wait for you because they'll travel about twice as fast.

All time favorite way to escape the heat. Remember your river shoes because the rocks can be sharp. If you are not an experienced river swimmer, we ask you to wear a life jacket.
Kids love to tube, but if you have smaller children why not also rent a raft so they can trade off or get into the raft if they get cold or tired.

Rafts. If you're with Canoers or Kayakers, they should expect to pull over and wait for you because they'll travel about twice as fast.
