Class II Carp River, MI
Rd 3119, East Lake Rd to Rd 3308, MacDonalds Rapids
The Carp River, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, flows through predominantly forested lands with little development along its way. The river flows through the Mackinac Wilderness Area.
The first 2.5 miles are windy but not as narrow as upstream. Logs should be passable in high water. Last mile before takeout is McDonalds Rapids. Rapids are large and straight with boulders; if difficult, there are footpaths along both sides of river.
