What to expect
The river trip begins along the gorgeous 200-foot cliffs bordering Michigan and Wisconsin. After a scenic flatwater section in which you can play games, swim around, and experience a few smaller rapids, you will pull over above the famous rapids of Piers Gorge. The adrenaline will start pumping as you hear the class IV rapids just downstream. Your group will then embark on your first of two runs through Piers Gorge. After we conquer the rapids for the first time, we’ll take a short hike back to the top of Piers Gorge and run the rapids again. This trip is appropriate for all skill levels, so bring the whole family. Children under 12 must portage the class IV section of the river through Piers Gorge. A parent or guardian must accompany children during the portage. They can enjoy the entertainment as they observe the others in their group running this amazing section of whitewater. Since you go through twice, parents can take turns so that everyone gets a chance to paddle the big water. This is the biggest whitewater in the Midwest. For those looking for an even more extreme trip, you might consider the exclusive Wildman Wild Ride!

I brought my 12 year old son and we had a fabulous time. The Wildman guides were so friendly and were great to my son. Our guides were Mason on the raft, Ken and Marissa on the Zip Lines, and Sedona and Ian on the kayaks. Elizabeth at the front desk was also great. The cabin was clean and the site right on the river was idyllic. The fire ring outside the cabin could use an upgrade if you are trying to grill on it. The sand volleyball court was great. We will definitely be back.Brought my family of 5 from Chicago and the whole experience rocked!! I have been telling everybody at work about what a blast it was! Ben was a stud as a pilot - to the powers that be he definitely needs an attaboy or buy him a Spotted Cow! Will definitely be back someday - you guys be good. Th...

We got there 1 hour early, not being made aware of the time change by either the message thread or TripAdvisor. I complained to the staff, they're looking into where I saw several "we operate on Eastern time" messages. The rest of the excursion was great! Our guide, Peter, was outstanding, very knowledgeable and patient. He made sure all safety matters were handled and gave us excellent tips for how to deal with anything that came up unexpectedly, as well as basic rafting techniques. The equipment was all very food and Blake, the photographer, made sure I got a helmet with a connection for my GoPro. He even helped me tie it down, in case anything came loose. All the staff are really nice, very enthusiastic, and love their job. We wanted to eat something before a two hour drive back to Munising and the Bombers bar & grill makes great pasties and chicken fingers. I highly recommend Wildman for rafting.
