A while ago I decided that we needed to paddle a good chunk of the Huron River this summer. Yesterday we spent most of the day on the river. We started at US-23/Whitmore Lake Road up in Brighton and paddled all the way to Whitewood Lake in the Dexter-Pinckney area. We had a great time and got a chance to visit the Locks on our way by their house. The kids were fine on our 5 hour trip, we made a couple stops for leg stretching and using the bathroom.
