This is the second leg of our adventure in Northern Michigan on the beautiful and exciting Pine River! Our first leg was a popular section of the Big Manistee River: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLEgJfjEdaM The Pine River is the fastest free flowing river (no dams/impoundments) in the lower peninsula of Michigan in the Huron-Manistee National Forests. Formerly known as the South Branch Manistee River, the Pine is a 53.6-mile-long tributary of the Manistee River. We did a full thru-paddle of the Pine River starting at Edgetts put in and took at at Low Bridge. This section was 42 miles. Edgetts is considered the upper most put in of floatable water on the Pine and is not for the faint of heart....a very difficult to find and a very steep hill at the rivers edge. Briar Patch is the next put in site down river (about a half mile further) and is much easier. After Low Bridge the Pine enters the back waters of Tippy Dam and is often nonfloatable due to shallow water so most thru-paddlers end their trips at Low Bridge rather than trying to continue on into Tippy Dam Pond.
