Pine River Construction - 2009


If you plan on paddling the Pine River in 2009, the Post is for you!


P.O.A. was checking in with the Baldwin Ranger Station today and received some information regarding updates and construction that will be taking place on some of the bridges/landings along the Pine River this year. According to the Ranger Station, they don't have a finalized schedule of all the access sites yet, but here is what they know:

May 1 - June 26: Low Bridge access site will be closed. Paddlers must take out at Peterson prior to June 26 (or completion if delayed).

September 14 - ?: Peterson Bridge Access site will be closed. Paddlers must take out at Dobson or Low Bridge after September 14 until completion of site.

The Ranger Station hopes to have a more detailed listing of construction and dates before the official paddle season kicks off on May 1, 2009. Once we find out more information, we will be sure to post it here. However, if you are heading up there for some late winter/early spring paddling, be sure to contact the Ranger Station for up to date info: (231) 745-4631.


Paddle On,
