Flowing through mid-Michigan to the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, this river offers gentle paddling through farmland and wetlands with excellent birding opportunities. Its 100-mile course drifts from gentle meanders between Holly and Byron down to the wider wetland corridor of the refuge. The lower reach is one of the premier wildlife-viewing paddles in the Lower Peninsula.
