We loved the new bridge crossing to the island!

Great spot to park and then canoe or kyak down the crystal river. The river is very shallow in some spots so you will hit ground and there are also tree limbs over the river so you've got to duck down under them...but the river is beautiful! We went in the fall and got to see a lot of salmon coming up to the river too. The River winds so much that you can paddle quite a bit and then I only have to walk a half-mile back to your car. There are a couple of places where you need to get your canoe out of the water and pass over the road. This is also a Sleeping Bear Dunes fee area so you need a pass. There is no spot to buy them there so you need to buy it somewhere else.
