Menominee

Watch this before going at lower flows. At 00:40 the paddle gets stuck in Volkswagon Rock at the same location a rafter died.

Now requires a daily fee (8$ in Nov. 2012) or a Michigan Recreation Passport, which can be used at all state parks in the state.

Just another angle on 3rd pier, 2500cfs. Was a clean line at this level. Level was a little high for play. We watched the rafts just go right over the top of VW rock.

This is just a map of where the main play features on 4th pier are located

Believe it or not there is a boater in this picture. I'm right side up, but the waves are much bigger than they appear in the camera and they completely swallow me.
Just around the bend is 2nd Pier and the 2 sisters.... Life just doesn't get more enjoyable

This is a great hole for mystery moves

At levels around 2000cfs and above Sand Portage develops some really nice play spots.

Playing in Chicken Ender is one of the great things to do on this stretch.

It was a great summer day on the Menominee River for the Hoofers Whitewater Rodeo.

Usually the rock in the center of the photo (volkswagon)has water exploded around and over it. Also, the river right side at higher levels develops a rather beefy hole... Looks a bit more intimidating at higher levels.
