Pine River Oxbow
The lower Pine River between the dam and the Menominee River is much more accessible, has no major waterfalls or rapids and therefore is suitable for paddlers of all skill levels.  A very popular trip is locally known as the "oxbow."  Use the put-in at the County Highway N bridge and take-out at the next landing, located about one-half mile north on County Highway N.  This oxbow is popular for canoers, kayakers, and tubers.  The length of the oxbow is 3.5 miles.  It takes approximately 2 hours to canoe or kayak and 3-4 hours to tube depending upon the water levels.
 
Use CAUTION when you put-in.  Double check that you are at the put-in location (the bridge) and not the take-out.  It is a long float for someone on an inner tube if you put in at the wrong location.
