On the weekend of 5-1-14 we did a 29 mile overnight starting at Harpersfield Bridge. Gage was 1.76 to 1.72 ft.

We had rented canoes and camping gear so canoes were loaded. We walked beside boats a few places but IF you hit the correct channel you made it through ok. Definately about as low as you want, but, we did get in 14 miles the first day.

It was so low the Grand River Livery gave us his oldest canoes. Ha. The thing I really remember about that trip was that Cheryl and I were the last boat to launch. We just turned downstream to see another couple standing beside their canoe in ankle deep water! I expected trouble but we had a good trip.

ps... While we made it at this low water level I was glad we had a rented
canoe!
