The Platte River

Lower Platte River
Gentle flowing river with easy gradual turns. River depth on average is between 2-3 feet deep with some good fishing holes. A great trip for the whole family or beginning canoers. Total trip time is about 2 1/2 hours and ends at a sandy beach on lake Michigan, with a beautiful picnic area and modern restroom facilities.

Upper Platte River
Much faster than the lower Platte River. More oriented towards the experienced canoer. The river on average is between 2-3 feet deep with tight turns, fast current, and underwater obstacles. A real trip....or should we say tip? Total trip time is about 3 1/2 hours and ends about 1 mile from The Trading Post on Deadstream Road.
