What we have to Offer

The AuSable River is one of Michigan’s Wild and Scenic rivers. It provides excellent opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, tubing, rafting and wildlife viewing. The river from Grayling to Oscoda is all wilderness with primitive camping along the river. We offer trips ranging from 2½ hours to 7 days. With an average depth of one to three feet and four to six mile per hour current, the river is great for young and old alike. Join us for a great vacation experience. Our most popular trip is 8 miles of primitive wilderness, designated as a wild and scenic stretch of the AuSable River. Call us to reserve a trip on the most beautiful stretch of the AuSable River.

Enjoy the majestic AuSable River in a tube; it is one of the best ways to spend a hot, sunny afternoon. The AuSable is a great tubing river with very few episodes of rump-bumpin! Plan to be wet, so wear your swim suit. We also recommend wearing water shoes or tennis shoes. Extra tubes can be rented for coolers, if available. Come experience tubing on the wild and scenic AuSable River in Glennie.

Come experience kayaking on the AuSable River in our user friendly kayaks. Our kayaks are easy to maneuver because they are shorter than typical kayaks, making them run straighter. They feature a longer cockpit for easy entry and exit and their width makes them more stable. Our supplier calls them the “right side up kayak.”

Rafting is a fantastic way to enjoy the majestic AuSable River. Rafts are great fun for families with small children, senior citizens, or anyone who doesn’t want to get wet. Our rafts hold 4 people plus gear and are available every day in season. Remember that rafts are about 25% slower than canoes, so plan your day accordingly.

Camping at our rental is available in a primitive area with public restrooms, shower house, laundry facilities and party store. No refunds for early departure or inclement weather. A refundable camping security deposit is required for each site rented. Site inspection is made at the end of your stay for security deposit refund. We can accommodate tent camping and small pop-up campers with groups of 12 people or less. Pets welcome if on a leash. Private parties are subject to prior approval by management. We are a drug free campground.
