Awesome video! I am going to thru paddle the Manistee this summer. Can't wait for that. Michigan is truly awesome. I wish I lived closer than 11 hours, but oh well. Glad I can visit in the summer time.
My son and I have paddled through both Big Manistee and the Pine rivers ending at the exact same spot as you guys on your trip. What a great time! Highly recommended however if you should choose to portage the two Hydraulic dams prepare yourself for the extra calories. I found Tippy dam to be somewhat easier than Hodenpyl dam that was a workout! At the end of the day it’s all part of the adventure. Get out and paddle and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Thanks for sharing your experience hope to see you all on the river one day. ✌🏼🇺🇸🛶
Thanks for your comment! We have portaged tippy but not Hodenpyl yet!! It’s part of the reason we chose to drive around it on this trip! Haha hope to see you out there too ✌🏼

That will be epic. Summertime by Lake Michigan is unbeatable!
