Solo Backpacking and Kayaking the Manistee River in Michigan

What an amazing river and trail! Since I was unable to connect to the NCT from the Red Bridge closure, which is slated to reopen in late Oct., I decided to drop my kayak off and float back to my truck after finishing the Manistee River Trail. Loved this place so much I'm going back to do it again with my wife to see the fall colors!
