Video: Shooting the Bear River Rapids

Kirk over at Hearthside Grove managed to come up with a great YouTube video of kayaking on the Bear River near Petoskey, MI:

After watching it, I really wonder if I can get a 16′6″ skin-on-frame sea kayak downriver in one piece. That may not be possible. I might just have to write about another potential journey on the Black River which is on the eastern side of Michigan’s northern lower peninsula…

    I’ve been following the progress of several communities around Michigan that are making efforts to bring sustainable whitewater resources to downtown riverscapes.

    I will be in Petoskey next weekend, April 3 & 4, and would be interested in meeting with local paddlers and, if water conditions allow, paddling the Bear. I can be reached via email: jonathanelutz at gmail dot com.

    Thanks! See you on the river.
