Paddling this section of the AuTrain River provides paddlers with a calm and peaceful float trip down a slow meandering river. The canoe trail starts from the AuTrain Lake Campground and crosses the AuTrain lake to the river which then makes its way to Lake Superior. There are lots of sloughs along the route that are home to abundant wildlife and the river has no rapids or portages making it a good option for paddlers of all skill levels.
