Looking for someone who might have canoed or kayaked the Manistee River.
Our current info indicates it takes 35 hours. Does this seem correct?
What are the most scenic/pleasant stretches of the river? Good places to camp?

Thanks for any info!

I just made a couple day trip from M-72 to South Sharon. Stopped halfway at CCC bridge. Really nice trip all in all, not a lot of other traffic. More cabins than I thought I would see.

I dont know how long it would take to paddle the whole thing. CCC bridge was a nice rustic campground. Someday I will take on the whole river.

There is more navigable water up from M-72.
