Take a trip from the Boarman lake, through the Boardman River, to the Grand Traverse Bay.

boardman lake to west bay river trips

Start at the southern end of Boardman Lake at Medalie Park and paddle through the Boardman Lake to the River. From there you will paddle through our quaint little downtown area. Stop along the way for a drink or some food and then head down under the bridge and into the Bay. This 3-Hr paddle will be mostly a river paddle with a smaller amount of time on the Bay.

This trip may be affected by changing water levels and local construction. However the Boardman Lake has much to offer at anytime.
