For anyone wondering if the Huron River current is stronger towards the Ann Arbor area than Milford, it is. While a good portion was manageable, there were about four or five areas from the Dexter-Huron Metropark headed northwest towards Hudson Mills Metropark that had me paddling in place and it wasn't pretty. I was paddling upstream towards the bridge where downtown Dexter comes into play (love that bakery smell) and I literally could not move forward. After about 10 minutes of going nowhere, I moved to shore, picked up the kayak and moved it west by land. A lesson learned; bring a buddy or pack the bicycle and head down stream the entire way next time. The trout were abundant in the view but unfortunately none were brought aboard. Paddle and lack of fish crying aside, a beautiful day and float it was today.
