Paw Paw River near Lawrence, MI

LOVES Wooden Canoes
Good paddle to day, put in at the park in Lawrence and went 9 miles down to 59 1/2 st. A few trees to work around and through in the first few miles. Then a long open stretch of 4 1/2 miles with no major obstacles. The worst is a double tree fall about a mile up from the take out at 59 1/2 st. About 5 hours which is not bad given the time needed to climb over the bad fall. No portage there as there is no place to get out river left. River right is a steep bank with some fool's house about to slide into the river. Water depth about 6 ft most of the way. Very few houses with mostly wooded banks.
