Canoe Trip

[binkley]

Thought I'd post the question here....I am looking for a canoe livery to go to for this years work outing. The group will be traveling from Midland, so an hour to an hour and a half would be the range. Last year we went to Duggan's on the Muskegan R. and the year before we went to Whites Canoe Livery on the Rifle River. I'm looking to try a different place. One criteria is that it be a place that will bus everyone upstream so we can float to the livery rather than starting at the livery and bein gpicked up and bussed back. Any input on a beautiful scenic river would be great.

One more thing....we usually try to do a 3 to 3.5 hour trip and we stoip half way for lunch, so if anything rings a bell with a good half way point for a shore lunch, please advise. I know this is asking a lot, but I know there are some true outdoorsman on this site that would have input that I could really put to use.

Thanks in advance.
