Likely too low for true whitewater trip. (Shoals/rapids will be a scrape.) We need your input. Add a comment or report regarding flows.

Description
A handful of minor rapids/shoals intersperse mostly flatwater. Listed access and egress are likely via private property, and would require obtaining permission from property owners. It is not known how boater-friendly they may be. Lacking permission, put-in skips only 1/8th mile of river (and the first possible riffles/shoals). However, it would be necessary to extend the trip some miles downstream to the next available public access, or to some other private property (with permission to park and exit the river). Since (possibly) the best rapids/shoals appears to be at S.Mackinac Trail, if that spot develops playable features, it may be possible/advisable for whitewater play-boaters to just do a 'park-and-play' there at favorable flows.
