Part 2 of a three part series showcasing my experience on the beautiful 48 mile Little Manistee River in early October from the very beginning of navigable water at Spencer Bridge Public Access on N. Peacock Rd, all the way to Lake Michigan.

It may be possible to begin at the Old Grade Campground on Rt. 37 approx. three more miles up river from Spencer Bridge Public Access but the campground was closed at the time of my thru-paddle.
