Short Trip: This three mile
stretch of the river is very scenic! Being slow moving and
with very few obstacles, this short trip is great for
inexperienced paddlers, or families with young children. It is
our easiest and shortest trip. You start at the Dollarville
Dam, and end at the Logging Museum. It takes about 1
1/2 hours to explore this area of the river in a canoe, but
take as long as you like.
CANOE/Tandem Kayak $50(Weight limit 500 lbs) KAYAK $35(Weight limit 250 lbs)

A Michigan "recreational passport" on your vehicle may
be required for "Trip A".
Trip A: There is a very slow
current that will gently help you along as you paddle down
this 6 1/2 mile stretch of river. This area of
the river has a few trees in the water to maneuver
around, so you will have to be on the lookout for these to
prevent a tip over. Your trip should take about 2 1/2 to
4 hours, but may take all day (that's up to you). You
start at the M-123 bridge north of Newberry, and end up at
McPhee's Landing. A fun family trip!

Hello fellow paddlers,
Come
visit us at The Woods for a day of family adventure on the
Tahquamenon River! We're located on
M-123 (Tahquamenon Falls Road) in northern Michigan's
Upper Peninsula between Newberry and Paradise, just 10 miles
west of the Upper Tahquamenon Falls and 13 miles north of
Newberry. This year we are offering two trips - Trip "A", and
the "Short Trip". Since the Tahquamenon River is a
slow moving river, both of these trips are easy paddling for
all ages, and are great for beginners - but we do recommend
the "Short Trip" for younger children. Included in our
trips is delivery of all needed equipment(life jackets, and
paddles) spotting of your vehicle at the end point, and a
shuttle service back to the start.
Approximately 95 miles long, the Tahquamenon River starts as a
narrow trout stream. Fed by numerous tributaries, it
eventually becomes a large, and stately river.
The scenery along the Tahqumenon is among the
most beautiful you will ever see, and it supports an
abundance of wildlife. Beaver, mink, otter, deer, bear,
moose, wolves, bald eagles, blue herons, sandhill cranes,
and a variety of other animals are regularly seen
in the area. For fishermen there are many types
of fish found in these waters - including
perch, walleye, northern pike, musky, bass, brook trout, and
various panfish.
To avoid disappointment we recommend that you
call us at least 24 hours ahead of time for availability. If
you would like more information about our trips,
or if you would like to reserve a canoe or kayak,
please give us a call at (906) 203-7624
Sincerely, Ken Orlang
We got a video of this young moose as he visited us on the Fourth of July, 2011 at 7:30 in the morning. Later in the morning he was seen leading a procession of cars down M-123 as he walked casually down the shoulder of the road.
We are closed for the season. Hope to see you in 2003!
Important! We recommend calling in advance to avoid disappointment.
