September 11 has been designated a National Day of Service and Remembrance.  Each year, more than 1 million Americans are expected to serve in their communities in honor of 9/11. Service projects will range from food drives and home repairs to neighborhood cleanups and disaster preparation activities. For the past several years, the Traverse Area Paddle Club has organized a Pine River cleanup to commemorate that day.  This year we'll go out a few days later, but we'll get it done!

 

We will be cleaning the section between Peterson and Low.  The rangers have provided us with vehicle permits.  No watercraft permits are required after Labor Day.  If we're lucky, maybe we won't find much stuff.  But it does occur after Labor Day, so who knows?

  

We will use the kind folks at Pine River Paddlesports Center to help us with the shuttle. Paddling time should be about 5 hours.  We might spot some early fall colors, and maybe some wildlife too. 

Given the possibility of tight turns and downed trees, you will need to be able to maneuver your boat sideways across the stream using back ferries.  If you are not comfortable making quick turns, it's best to get some practice on an easier river before tackling the Pine.
