Too low. Gauge (355 sq.mi. drainage) is very near this location, thus quite accurately reflects flows. |

River Description
The best play wave in southern Michigan when the level is right. There is an old cement, river wide low water dam that is broken up. Most of the year the water is only a few inches deep, but at higher levels a decent play wave is created.
See Flow Info, Comments, Map and Directions tabs for additional information.
