This area is owned by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore and offers year-round scenery to enjoy.
“For generations, thousands of people have enjoyed a paddle down the beautiful Crystal River near Glen Arbor. The shallow river is gentle and slow, and its meandering path takes canoeists and kayakers around one beautiful bend after another. Ideal for families with small children, the river can be traversed in just 2 or 3 hours, depending on how hard you work. Every season brings something wonderful to see, from turtles sunning on rocks, to bright red cardinal flowers standing on shore, to spawning salmon congregating in the fall.”Â
