The Pine River is a Blue Ribbon Trout Stream in northern lower Michigan. It’s spring-fed and begins near Luther, MI, joining the Manistee River near Wellston, MI. It’s a very cold, fast-moving waterway known for its trout fishing and recreational opportunities.

The last 26 miles of the Pine are a designated National Scenic River. I’ve spent years paddling and camping along this river and can attest to its cold swiftness.
