Default Huron River paddling

So I paddled the Huron River and the Pine River this month, who else
has gone out paddling and where did you go?


What part of the Huron did you do?

Earlier this season we paddled from Island Lake State Rec area down to
Huron Meadows metro park. This is a beautiful lightly traveled part of
the river, but because it's so lightly traveled it's not maintained as
other sections. Due to the severe storms this spring, there we're
*alot* of downed trees. We had to portage about 10 times.

So I'm curious if anyone has done this section recently - there were a
couple of people in wetsuits with chainsaws clearing the trees, but it's
an amateur volunteer effort, not anything organized. I'm wondering
whether the managed to clear it.

The rest of the river was clear - everywhere downstream of McCabe Road
(which BTW, provides excellent river access).
