Cranberry Creek

Cranberry Creek is a river or creek in Michigan, part of the dense network of moving water that drains the state toward the Great Lakes. Michigan's rivers are prized for canoeing and kayaking, fly and spin fishing — trout, smallmouth bass, steelhead and salmon depending on the reach — and the quiet riverside trails, campgrounds and access sites strung along their banks.

Conditions change with the seasons: spring brings high, fast water from snowmelt, while late summer can run low and clear. Stretches range from flatwater suitable for beginners to fast or log-strewn water that demands skill, so scout access points, flow and regulations before you put in.
