More rain last night. Beginning to get a little spooked that we cannot get the water levels back to normal. The Crystal river is running over 90 cfs and the glen lakes are above 597 feet above sea level. (Check this out at the glenlakeassociation.com website). I have been operating the dam for over 15 years and have no memory of the levels being so high for so long as this June. Usually we are worried about not enough water. Not this year.
Our eco tours will begin tomorrow, (monday), kayaking, canoeing, tubing and fishing on one of 39 inland lakes in Leelanau County every night of the week. Mark Ringlever, Steve Ware and Mike Sutherland will all be available for these trips. Hiking eco tours will begin this week as well with Jon Tris. Check out the bios on these guides on our eco tour page on the website theriverglenarbor.com.
Annie Lang and Becky Sutherland begin up north activities in our new rock shop/craft center. Petoskey Stone Polishing,birdhouse construction, beading, leather stamping, driftwood crafting/artwork and scavenger hunt adventures through Glen Arbor. ”Learning made fun.”
Noah Creamer will be doing photography classes inside the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Check him out on our guide page as well.
Come on down to the River today and jump in a canoe, kayak, tube or longboard for an adventure on the Crystal River. We are taking reservations, or just show up at 5959 South Oak Street just a half a block off M-22 in Glen Arbor and we will get you and your family out in the Park to make some memories.
Oh yea, almost forgot: We need rocks! Bring us in 10 lbs of rocks or 5 peices of driftwood and we will give you a free round of putt putt. The rocks need to be interesting, not just a shovel full from the gravel pit. If you have an interesting rock, bring it in and we will help you identify it. We love rocks at the River…..especially Petoskey Stones.
