Adventures for Women: All Day Trippin' Down the Chippewa October 9, 2010

Registration Deadline: 10/1/10. Most of our paddle trips on the Chippewa River are just a couple of hours, from CNC's boat launch to the Tridge, or from our Chippewa Cabin site to our main property. But this time out, we're going to make a whole day of it! We'll put in at Magruder Road and paddle all the way to our main canoe launch (just past the Pine/Chippewa confluence), with a lunch break at Midland County's Manitou Park and another rest stop at CNC's Chippewa Cabin. (Facilities are not exciting at either place - both have pit toilets.) The Magruder Road site is not an easy put-in site - a steep bank with a healthy poison ivy population, but once you're in, it's a beautiful stretch of river! At Manitou Park, the trail up to the restrooms and picnic area is quite steep, so we'll just tie our boats up at the bank. Participants should dress for changing weather conditions through the day, and bring beverages/sack lunch/snacks.
