Had a great paddle today on the Paw Paw River in SW Michigan. My put-in is just upstream of the point where the Paw Paw dumps into the St Joseph River which again is just upstream of where the St Joseph dumps into Lake Michigan. It starts out kind of wide but quickly narrows down and fills with fallen trees.
You have to pick your line and you are going to bump some sunken trees.
The river is at twice normal volume but still relatively tame. I love being able to paddle among the trees.
I really like this pic and wish I didn't ruin it with a peek at my new blue NRS gloves.
It started raining lightly when I got about 4 miles upstream so I turned around even though I didn't want to since we've had a lot of severe weather lately. I thought Mother Nature was letting me off lightly. By the time I got home it was hot and sunny without a cloud in the sky but that's OK. Got some good exercise paddling back into some stiff headwinds.
