About The Mighty Manistee River

About The Mighty Manistee River

This spring-fed river is refreshing and crystal clear all year round. The bottom of the river is mostly sandy and inviting. It flows just like a lazy river at a water park, with a clear wide path, making it easy for you to float and relax. The river averages 2 to 4 feet deep-you can practically walk the whole thing. The moderate current and stable flow make this river a favorite for families, youth groups, scout groups, and anyone who loves nature and beauty. Much of Michigan’s native wildlife can be spotted along the banks of the Manistee, including Black Bears, White Tail Deer, and Bald Eagles.
