Indian River Michigan is a paradise for paddlers of all skill levels. Miles of scenic rivers ranging from the slow moving Pigeon River to the fast water Sturgeon will provide just what you are looking for. The calm waters of the Pigeon flow through the Pigeon River Forest and "elk country" finally ending at Mullett Lake. The Sturgeon River with a decent of nearly 14 feet per mile is a Class I-II fast water, the most challenging in the Lower Peninsula.

Indian River Outfitters offers guided trips into the Pigeon River wilderness with one and two day trips available. This is a great experience for all skill levels and offers the chance to photograph elk, deer, bear and other wildlife that inhabit the region. You can also try your luck at trout fishing.
