This is the second leg of our adventure in Northern Michigan on the beautiful and exciting Pine River! Our first leg was a popular section of the Big Manistee River: • The Big Manistee River...
The Pine River is the fastest free flowing river (no dams/impoundments) in the lower peninsula of Michigan in the Huron-Manistee National Forests. Formerly known as the South Branch Manistee River, the Pine is a 53.6-mile-long tributary of the Manistee River.
We did a full thru-paddle of the Pine River starting at Edgetts put in and took at at Low Bridge. This section was 42 miles. Edgetts is considered the upper most put in of floatable water on the Pine and is not for the faint of heart....a very difficult to find and a very steep hill at the rivers edge. Briar Patch is the next put in site down river (about a half mile further) and is much easier.
After Low Bridge the Pine enters the back waters of Tippy Dam and is often nonfloatable due to shallow water so most thru-paddlers end their trips at Low Bridge rather than trying to continue on into Tippy Dam Pond.

The Cumberland is pretty most any where it flows, but the camping seems limited. The Red River through RRG offers some awesome scenery and great camping, but it has some bigger rapids at higher flows. Then you have the Kentucky River Particularly the Palisades Rock formations area. There is other nice rivers that I have not paddled, but I have researched.

Jason, man! I'm loving your series in Northern, MI! Just a note on your camera charger; your camera doesn't necessarily need usb-c to usb-c to charge. It just needs the port that it is plugged into to be USB-PD capable. The ports don't matter, but the standard does, as USB-PD (USB-Power Delivery) is capable of much higher amperage charging. Thank you for showing me some of what I've been missing by staying in Southeastern MI with my kayak so far.

I still really like it, and would definitely buy it again if needing to stay under the $500 mark. And the main reason for that is I prefer a sit in style, and it Has to have a large storage area in the back for my backpack or dry bag and behind the seat, and in front of me for other gear and small coolers, and it has all the above. I know some reviews talk about the seat not being very comfortable, but I have no issues with it but the only thing I have to compare it to is some cheap pelicans that I own. I probably wouldn’t want to take this style of kayak on lots of Rapids but the class one stuff and below that I do it’s perfect

First decide how far you are willing to drive and what time of the year you plan to go. In the winter obviously you would want to stay in the south...I've read about lots of great rivers in Alabama, Geogia, South Carolina, Florida and Texas. Just google search rivers in the state you would like to go to and then look for youtube videos on the river that interest you. Once you decide on a river or area you would like to go, start looking for canoe and kayak liveries that are willing to give you a shuttle ride or a rental if needed, or even spot your car for you at your ending location if you have your own equipment. I've even used Uber this summer. I hid my kayak in the woods where I wanted start and then drove my truck to my ending location and then took an Uber back to where I hid my kayak...that way my truck was there waiting for me when I finished. If you have a kayaking buddy and two vehicles you wouldn't need to do this if close to home, but if traveling a good distance its better to use a shuttle service rather than take two vehicles obviously. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Been doing the Pine for decades, loved it so much I moved nearby! I don't start at Edgetts too much anymore though. Have started way up river with Horina's help but it has been a long time, curious to maybe try a bit of another branch I've never been on, just upstream from Edgets. The Sturgion (LP) is faster, maybe even parts of the Boardman now with a few dams removed. The Pine has a 7'/mile gradient. The Little Manistee shouldn't be overlooked either if you are advanced and tolerant of having to get out of your boat a lot. The section from 9 Mile Bridge to 6 Mile Bridge is wicked, narrows and goes 12'/mile. Check out my HillOrStream for lots of information on these.

@@jasonwish- The Sturgeon is a fast, narrow, well-cleared channel. 80% tip rate. Tend to smash into the corners! Not nearly as scenic as the Pine but few rivers are. If you do it use Burt Lake SP as your get-out, nothing sweeter than canoeing out into the lake for a nice swim to finish the day.

Hey I’m hoping to do the little Manistee next weekend and wondering how far east I can put in? I don’t mind blow downs and portages.

Here are two of my upper LM videos. The first span I wouldn't recommend but the second is very doable. So I'd recommend starting at Spencer bridge.kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4jGhalsZ7V3hMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/fofEpWCOn9WFptE The span between 9mile to 6mile bridge needs special care as the gradient doubles through there. several videos on that too on my "HillOrStream" channel.

Up in the nose of the kayaks....definitely should have had them on going under that down tree. The water was down a little and most of the river was very shallow and gentle.

The random campsites along the lower section that aren't part of a campground are illegal to camp at. Between Elm Flats and Low Bridge you are supposed to camp a quarter mile off the river. Tough in practice, kind of have to know where the land is State/Federal/Consumers Power/private. In practice you want to be out of site and use a stove or twig-stove instead of a campfire when stealth camping.

Its too bad that area is illegal to camp in since there were so many amzing sites right on the river. The Pine has probably been our favorite river yet, hopefully we can thru paddle the entire Big Manistee one of these days. Have you been on that one much?

@@jasonwish- A bit, I'd still like to do the upper pieces from Deward that are a little quicker. I sometimes will get in and paddle upstream for an hour or two and then float back. Used to do the same on the Muskegon, the two are fairly similar, big with moderate current. Motorized boats to contend with in the lower sections. The Little Muskegon was nice too, not quite as wild as the Little Manistee. I spend most of my time on the Pine and the Little Manistee.
