Scouting Guide for Piers Gorge Menominee River Whitewater Kayaking or Rafting 1800 cfs in Norway MI

Описание: "The run through Piers Gorge - while only a class IV :) - should still be on the "been-there, done-that" list of any advanced/expert whitewater kayaker who resides in the upper Midwest. Piers Gorge offers a ton of opportunities to play and test your skills, and there are enough drops, holes, surfing waves and haystacks to make the day interesting and the long drive worthwhile. A nice trail system runs through the forest along the north bank (Michigan side) with plenty of access points above and below Piers Gorge. So you can make run after run 'till your heart's content.

For all you newbie's reading this and planning your first whitewater rafting trip. Just go ahead and ignore what you read in the previous paragraph about this being "only a class IV" run. Let me explain... when you're in the raft and approaching the big drop of Missicot Falls and there's this bone-shaking roar echoing off the surrounding cliffs of the gorge. You'll spot the towering plume of Volkswagen Rock dead ahead, the front of the raft suddenly dips and the world turns white. That's when the adrenaline really kicks in and you'll be asking yourself: "If this is only class 4, what the heck is class 5 ???"
...or
...like most people...
...you'll just be screaming!

Piers Gorge is a short, high-adrenaline action run that serves up a class IV drop named Missicot Falls along with several class II and class III features, all in one of the most beautiful river-gorge settings in the Midwest. Water levels are controlled by the Little Quinnesec Falls Dam, which generally has a steady release rate for fairly consistent whitewater throughout the warm-weather season. This is a great destination when other whitewater rivers are running low."
