Presque Isle, Michigan, US

B) Underwood Tower Rd to Steigers Bridge (7.5 miles)

Gauge Information

River Description

Reach includes Minnewawa Falls and Nimikon Falls.

Put-in: broken bridge on Underwood Tower Road
Take-out: Steigers Bridge on logging road
Note: Getting shuttle vehicles down to the listed take-out at Steigers Bridge may not be available due to the logging road being closed (gated). This may necessitate continuing downstream to run the Lower Presque. This makes a long day, paddling a total of 15.7 miles (or 16.8 to the mouth, including the 'final mile' or Bottom Presque run).

Note: There is about 16 miles of low gradient river from the listed take-out of the prior (upper section) to the put-in for this section.
