What we’re about
Let explore the rivers in Southwest Michigan. They include Galien River, St. Joseph River, Paw Paw River, Black River, and Kalamazoo River. We can also paddle along the shores of Lake Michigan. We will also plan overnight trips to other rivers a little farther away.
We have added Hiking and Biking to the group to get us more activities. We will be planning hiking and biking events in SW Michigan.
