The world class Menominee River provides the whitewater enthusiast with some of the largest volume rapids in the Midwest, with characteristics similar to those found on the Colorado River. Late in the summer, when other rivers are low, the dam released Menominee River will continue to produce large whitewater and incredible rafting experiences. Due to the size of these class IV rapids, we run our big water, 8-10 person rafts, with a guide in every boat. Menominee River trips are based at the Menominee River Outpost, a relaxing, scenic drive from the Peshtigo River Outpost.
The river trip begins along the gorgeous 200-foot cliffs bordering Michigan and Wisconsin. After a scenic flat water section and a few smaller rapids, you will pull over to scout the famous rapids of Piers Gorge. The adrenaline will start pumping as you scout the rapids and plan your approach. You’ll go back to your boat with your guide for your first of two runs through Piers Gorge. After we shoot the rapids, we’ll take a short hike back to the top of Piers Gorge and run the rapids again. This trip is appropriate for all skill levels, so bring the whole family. Children under 12 must portage the class IV section of the river through Piers Gorge.
