Menominee River State Recreation Area Is The Only Park I know Of Managed By Two Different States

Menominee River State Recreation Area is comanaged by the states of Michigan and Wisconsin. It’s located in Dickinson and Menominee counties, Michigan and Marinette County, Wisconsin.

The park is home to a beautiful, 17-mile stretch of undeveloped river corridor that straddles the banks of the Menominee River in both Michigan and Wisconsin. The 7,652-acre park features rocky gorges, towering pines and wide-open stretches that offer a destination for whitewater rafting, kayaking, fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. Eagles, osprey, common loons and waterfowl are common sightings.

There are three units in the park, including Piers Gorge Unit in the north and the Quiver Falls Unit and Pemene Falls Unit in the south. Both the Piers Gorge and Pemene Falls units are home to class II-III rapids.

Kosir’s Rapid Rafts, True North Outpost and Wildman Adventure Resort offer white water rafting trips in the park. I have personally used Wildman Adventure Resort, and I can attest they provide an outstanding service.
