TITABAWASSEE RIVER:

In front of our dock the river is between 1.5 to 2.5 feet deep. This area is great for small kids/wading. You can set out chairs place them chair where you sit above the water level. Go swimming and canoeing/kayaking/tubing down the river.

Depending upon the section of river you are in, the river moves at about 3-5 MPH. You can use rafts/tubes, etc. and leave from the far south point of the property. It will take about 2 hours to go the 3 miles (approx) to the bridge at Sugar River Road where you can get picked up. If you like to fish, the river does have some areas with deeper spots where the fish hang out (these spots are 6 feet deep or so and out away from the bank).
