Huron River Water Trail — Attraction in Ann Arbor

The upper Huron from Proud Lake to Ann Arbor is mostly quiet and serene, great for canoeing and kayaking. The river offers great scenery and lots of wildlife as it flows through recreation areas and metroparks. The stretch in Island Lake Rec Area is remarkably wild for being so close to metropolitan Detroit, like paddling up north without the drive. There are canoe liveries at Delhi and Milford. Island Lake Rec Area and Hudson Mills have canoe campsites. For experienced paddlers there are class 1 to 2 rapids at Bell Road, Hudson Mills and Delhi, and for winter paddling the river seldom freezes between Kent Lake Dam and the Huron Meadows Metropark pullout. Low water in summer can make the stretch from Portage Lake to North Territorial difficult. Fallen trees below Placeway in Island Lake down to McCabe Road bridge frequently require portaging. The chain of lakes is great when it is quiet but can have a lot of powerboat traffic on summer weekends. Windy conditions can make lake crossings challenging.
