Trip Report

ReporterMark Mastalski

The Presque Isle is one of the classic expert runs in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This stretch of the river is contained within Porcupine Mountains State Park.
It may look like it, but this isn't some warm exotic place! Manabezho Falls is just one of the big drops on the Presque Isle. Paddlers do not treadly lightly on this river.
The rock basin of the Presque Isle erodes in amazing layers. During spring melt this is all covered with tumbling water.
