I probably shouldn’t be telling everyone about this gem, but the south branch of the Au Sable coming out of Roscommon is nirvana. Every year the waterway is different, due to falling trees, so you never know if it’s going to be an easy trip or one with a bit of adventure. Almost as soon as we put in at Steckert Bridge, we had to maneuver underneath a fallen limb that blocked our way, about three feet off the surface of the water. Next time, these photos will show a winter scene!
