This was my first attempt at kayaking and enjoying the day with my brother. We put in at the McMasters Bridge east of Grayling an took our time soaking up the great weather, scenery, and wildlife. The river was running at a decent pace so the paddling was quite easy. The river is clean and clear and gently carves through the surrounding areas pristine forests.
There are scattered pockets of homes and cabins on the river. We saw not a single person on the river all day. We did however see deer, eagles, geese, fish, ducks and numerous other birds. We took out at the Parmalee Bridge, and then drove down to Luzerne to have a burger at the famous Ma Deeter's. We were greeted at the bar with a "Crystal" Wendy.
