Ready – Set – Go
The season is underway and it seams like all-of-a-sudden there are folks kayaking and canoeing down our river. Sure feels good after a long, long winter. Those of you who visited us last summer know that the rivers were lower than anyone could remember in a long time, but it looks like they’ve recovered nicely and there promises to be plenty of water this year.
Even though there has been lots of talk about a poor economy, all indicators show that we’re headed for a busy year Northland Outfitters. We have more advance reservations than we have had in many past years. Even the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a HOT summer. If you’re planning to visit us, please make your reservation as soon as you can.
Friend and long-time Northland patron Doc Fletcher has written a book entitled Weekend Canoeing in Michigan: The Rivers, The Towns, The Taverns. He describes twenty of Michigan's most popular canoeing rivers with the Fox and Manistique at the top of the list. He goes on to summarize the histories of some of the small towns along the way and also describes his favorite taverns for kicking back a few cold ones after a day or two on the river. The book will soon be available for purchase in our gift shop or online at Amazon.com or Arbutuspress.com.
