Boardman River Now Offers More to Kayakers and Paddlers

During a recent drive near the removal of the Brown Bridge Dam, I snapped the above photo.  Though this picture is only a week or so old, I'm sure the green banks are filling in rapidly making for even more lush vegetation (especially after the amount of rain we got last night!  Yeesh!).  Though the landscape around the area is a reminder that a large dam once stood here, the river itself seems to be finding its way very happily and naturally as it meanders through and on its way to Grand Traverse Bay.  Not only does the recovery of this river to its natural, meandering state mean it's a healthier river, it now offers an adventurer the opportunity to paddle more seamlessly through the landscape.

From the Forks Campground to Grand Traverse Bay, the Boardman River is considered to be a moderate to fast current, making a fun day trip (you can choose to go about 27 miles from the Forks area) on a canoe/kayak.  A newer sport spreading through the area, stand-up paddleboarding, is also a great way to enjoy the Boardman.   I stand-up paddle often and river paddling is one of my favorite ways to enjoy Northern Michigan; the perspective of standing allows you to see the fish, turtles, and wildlife from a completely different angle.  A leisurely paddle down the river used to more often than not end at the Boardman Pond (unless you were willing to get in some weight-lifting too and schlepped your mode of transport to the other side - nothankyouverymuch!), but now, with no dam you can just keep calm and paddle on.

Historically, the Boardman is an expensive river to buy property on, however, we've just listed a charming log cabin for just $129,900 on a terrific stretch of water.  See the info below or contact me right away to schedule a showing!
