Watercraft & River Info

The tubes we use are heavy gauge sevylor vinyl. The orange, pink and yellow are ‘regular’ tubes with holes in the center. (45" diameter.) The bright green tubes have a bottom to them and are a little larger than the regular tubes. (54" diameter) We operate with 70 regular tubes and 50 with a bottom.

 

We have 60 aluminum canoes that are either 15’ or 17’ in length. Most of them are O’Sagian or Michicraft.  A dozen of those are color-coated colored aluminum. They are as pretty as fiberglass, but much more sturdy.

 

We have 12 sit-in style kayaks. They are lots of fun for all ages!  No need to worry about tipping, they are much more stable in the water than you think. We’ve had people of all ages use them – from 8 to 78! 

 

 

River Information:

The Muskegon is a perfect river for beginners and families. It is wide and mostly obstacle-free. The majority of the river on our livery trips is shallow with a sandy bottom. The river flows at an easy 2-3 miles per hour and has no white water (the only rapids are down river from us near Big Rapids).

The Muskegon – at 170 miles long – is the longest river in Michigan. It is navigable almost from its headwaters, just north of Houghton Lake, to its mouth in the city of Muskegon, where it empties into Lake Michigan.

Fishing near Evart is good for rainbow and brown trout; with bass, walleyes, muskies and pike in other areas of the river. On the majority of our livery trips we are the only livery using the river, so it’s scenic, private and not crowded.
