eco tours start today

by Mike Sutherland on June 28, 2010

Perfect weather….finally, looks like the whole week should be ideal for kayaking, tubing, canoeing, golfing.  So whats up this week? Tucker Lake eco tour tonight.  7 p.m. till 9 p.m.  Kayaks or canoes.  Fishing or no fishing.  Should be gorgeous weather.  Petoskey stone polishing class in the new rock shop/craft center at 10 a.m.  Wed and Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. are youth putt putt tournaments.  Prizes for all participants.  The chess ladder begins today.  Youth and adult competitions.  Shaping up to be a great week.   Don’t forget about the new sand boat for toddlers.  Well stocked with dump trucks and shovels.

The Crystal River water levels remain very high and are perfect for canoeing, kayaking and tubing.  Our traditional 7 mile trip from the top of the river above the dam and below the fisher lakes takes about 2 hours.  We are taking reservations online.  This is as beginner level paddle.  Kids over the age of 7 are encouraged to be in their own kayak!  Parents can always tie the stern of their boat to the bow of their kids if need be….otherwise, most kids love the independence of being in charge of their own boat.  My wife Becky calls the Crystal River the River of Empowerment.  The river depths now with high water are still only about 2 feet.   Don’t worry, the Crystal River is so safe.

Mention this blog today and receive 5 dollars off a kayak or canoe trip and 2 dollars off putt putt/mini golf. Come on down to the River at 5959 S. Oak Street in gorgeous Glen Arbor and make some memories!
