2 Sep 06: Grass River Natural Area: Part 3

The Grass River Natural Area connects Clam Lake to Lake Bellaire. This is a protected area full of wildlife and natural beauty. It is a no wake area and takes about 1 hour travel time to go from Clam Lake to Lake Bellaire. There are several creeks one is actually call Cold Creek and yes it is "COLD". Why don't you stop off stop off and test your cold weather conditioning as we did. We chickened out after about 3 minutes before are ankles grew numb. There are lots of places to pull up the boat all along the river and go swimming or just hang out. The river mostly is only about 4 feet deep and runs probably 3-4 knots but I'm not sure. Its a wonderful boating area and a "must see" for the family. I imagine if you go around sunset or sunrise the images would be indeliable and unequalled. I will without doubt make this a often travelled place.
