Welcome to the River Run Canoe Rental. Come paddle the Pere Marquette National Scenic River, an easy flowing river the whole family can enjoy. Enjoy natural beauty, serenity, and abundant wildlife as you float through densely forested wetlands. Stop along the way and enjoy a swim or picnic on a sandbar. Be sure to bring your camera, our canoes contain a dry box and middle seat storage.
WHAT'S Available:
- Three seat canoes, single kayaks, and tandem kayaks are available for our (estimated) 2-3 hour trip from Custer to Scottville.
- Tubing is also available but takes about 4 hours to float through the river.
- River run also offers transportation for your personal canoe or kayak for a small fee!
