Activity Type: Paddling | Event Type: Fitness | Course: --
Average speed 4-3 MPH, max 11mph through downtown Grand Rapids.
NOTE: going through downtown rapids after portage 3rd street fish ladder the first spill over is too much of a drop to avoid a nose dive. Go to far side or west side of River and portage via rocks on shore. Next 3 or 4 spillways were fine to boat over.
Made the trip during ArtPrize and went through downtown Saturday night around 7pm. Had crowds on the bridges cheering me on as I shot the rapids. Had to watch out for several fishing lines on the bridges as well.
