The Pere Marquette River is a very popular fishing and canoeing river. Its crystal clear water and the variety of terrain and vegetation along its banks were attractive enough for it to be classified as a National Scenic River and a State Natural River. The Pere Marquette is one of the best fishing streams in the State, especially noted for brown trout, steelhead and salmon. The current is fairly swift, but the river is free of hazardous rapids and can be canoed rather easily. Peace and tranquility are natural features of the river. Many species of wildlife may be sighted by the quiet canoeist and angler.
