Friendly and informative. Several options for length of trip, including overnight on the river. Canoe, kayak, tube, rafting. Shuttle service if you have your own. The section of River we ran was scenic and easy current. Didn't need to paddle except to keep on course. Areas of sandbar, good for getting out the cool off in the water. Pe prepared to lift your equipment at the end of the run.

This was my first time on the Manistee river and I loved it. Almost no homes and people. Just the river and nature. I liked being able to camp anywhere I wanted and it added more adventure for my trip. Phone service is sketchy but worked most of the time. I unfortunately forgot my cooler in my car but they completely accommodated me by coming back and getting my keys and bringing back my cooler. Thank you so much ! Definitely planning another trip in a few weeks. Thanks again and don't forget to tip your driver ! ** Prices do not match brochure and with no explanation why I stopped using there service. **

Great folks. It's a first rate experience. We did the 2 hour trip where they picked us up at the end of a kayaking trip. I will do the 5 hour trip next time where you land at their home base. Please use this company if you're remotely thinking of doing this sort of thing.

We took a trip from Fire Lane ending at Wilderness Canoe Trips. We had a wonderful experience. The river was a relatively easy paddle with a decent flow (we are experienced kayakers). Very friendly owners, answered our questions, reasonably priced and responsible driver. Equipment was in great shape. Highly recommend Wilderness Canoe Trips! We will be back - making plans for our kayak camping along the Manistee and we will definitely use Wilderness!

This is the 4th time coming here. The staff are great. This time I stayed at a cabin and they came to pick up all 14 of us no problem. The river was amazing the entire trip was relaxing and fun. The man that did all the driving was sweet and had so many great stories of this area.
