Newaygo County is home to a 55 mile segment of the famous North Country Trail and world-class trout, steelhead and salmon fishing on the mighty Muskegon River.

Happy to send a video on request. A frequent question is “Should we bring our own kayaks/canoes?” If you have two cars and want to shuttle your own launch and landing, absolutely yes. I can guide you to several launch and takeout spots nearby.
