The Pine River passes right by the old Michigan Chemical Corporation
site.

Yep, you are right... except that the Pine River you are discussing is
different than the Pine River that was designated as a wilderness
river. The River you discuss flows east into the Titabawassee west of
Midland. The Pine River that is being protected flows west into the
Manistee about 120 miles northwest of there.

Come on up and paddle the Pine River... You'll be very surprised as to
how much wilderness there is on the West side of the State..
