The Shiawassee River
Shiawassee County is named for its principal river The Shiawassee. The river is about 110 miles long. It is one of the best examples of a warm-water river system in its eco-region. Its waters support over 61 species of fish and 14 species of freshwater mussel, including some rare and endangered species. We encourage you to spend a relaxed afternoon exploring the many features the Shiawassee River has to offer.

Canoeing and Kayaking
The Shiawassee River Valley is a country scenic setting—the river is a Class 1 stream for beginners and rises to intermediate during higher flows. It traverses through many scenic landscapes, historic communities and many county and municipal parks.. For a complete river guide visit www.shiawasseeriver.org

Fishing & Wildlife
Be ready to reel in some nice size fish in our relatively shallow river. The Shiawassee is a favorite of fly fishers catching smallmouth bass. Other varieties that may be hooked include: walleye, carp, suckers, rock bass, pike and blue gill. It is not uncommon to see raccoons, beaver, great blue heron, white tail deer, and wood duckling. Be sure to keep your eye out for Bald Eagles as well. Visit DeVries Nature Conservancy for an excellent location to take in all the sights.
