On this trip we used a Takacat inflatable boat with a Torqeedo electric motor. We started at the Red Bridge River Access on the Manistee River and continued down towards Tippy Pond and Government Island. After passing those, we camped for the night. The next day we portaged across the Tippy Dam before continuing down the Manistee River. We then camped in the forest before the final day where we continued on towards Manistee Lake before getting to the town of Manistee and checking out the Manistee North Pier Lighthouse.

Thank you to www.greatlakeswatercraft.com for loaning us the boat! Check out his website if you're interested in the same boat we used.
