Kayaking the Huron

I've been kayaking on parts of the Huron that I have never seen before. It is a beautiful and even wild river. Last Saturday a friend and I kayaked from Lower Huron Metropark to Willow Metropark. We were astonished by a number of facets: 1. No one else was canoeing or kayaking on the river--oh, yes, we did see two fishermen in a skiff, while paddling for two and a quarter hours. Rarely saw any sign of civilization--a house here or there and once in a while some electric lines. You would have thought we were up north, not just a few miles from Metro Airport. The river water was fairly clear. We could see large rocks and downed trees under water. I can't wait to swim in the river!
