Took Approximately 3.5 hours. It's almost 7 miles so it may be faster for some. We just float and take it all in. The old log resort where we got our charges a small fee. Well worth it. This is a great establishment. This is the Muskegon river. Getting back into the Temple campground can be a bit tricky but is a beautiful spot to camp. We went during the week so there was not a lot of traffic on the river.
