The Piers Gorge
On Menominee River
Dickinson County Michigan
|
|
The Menominee River holds the most challenging section of
whitewater in all the Midwest. This high volume river plummets
down a 10 foot waterfall and tumbles wildly through the
canyon walls of Piers Gorge, forming powerful hydraulics
and huge standing waves. Some of the souse holes are big enough
to sink a bus and one earns the name Terminal Surfer.
This run will get your adrenaline flowing and heart pounding.
Not for everyone but for those adventuresome folks that
chose to challenge themselves, this river trip will be
unforgettable!
This photo above was taken at the second pier and shows
the rafters in the top left photo making
their second run!
For those of you that just want to view this spectacular
river and canyon there's lots of parking and a trail that runs
along the canyon walls offering some outstanding views.
You can click on the map
and view a photo view taken from that spot.
