Michigan Rivers Less Paddled - 2009 publication available for purchase

 
"Michigan Rivers Less Paddled" tells you about paddling trips down 21 rivers across Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the Lower Peninsula, slow meanders down family-friendly rivers to more challenging runs on swift-flowing rivers. Only rivers serviced by canoe liveries are included, so that this book can be a guide to all who love paddling Michigan, whether they own their own boat or not.
 
For each river, a suggested trip includes that river's "degree of difficulty", the trip's length, and key landmarks & obstacles ahead. Read about histories of nearby towns and their Detroit Tiger radio affiliate (so you can find the Boys of Summer wherever you float), and be directed to a local old-time tavern where you can relax & relive the day's trip over a burger & a cold one. 
 
The book is available at bookstores across Michigan, and at Amazon and other dotcoms. To order this for your bookstore, canoe livery, or other retail outlet, please contact Susan Bays at editor@arbutuspress.com or call (231) 946-7240.
