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.

You are now entering Mackinac Wilderness Area. This is NOT an area for beginners; it is largely unmaintained and has only footpaths entering and leaving it. Half of your time will be crossing/portaging log jams. Be prepared for a long day.
