A Manistee River original Since 1959

At Chippewa Landing we pride ourselves on living up to our motto- “the First and friendliest name in Canoeing.” We have been providing camping, canoeing, rafting, kayaking and tubing on the Manistee River for over 60 years. Our full service canoe livery and campground is located just 10 minutes north of Cadillac, Michigan in beautiful Northern Michigan.

Our crew loves the river and has collectively spent more hours, days, and weeks on the Manistee than anybody around. We want to put that experience towards helping your group have the best experience possible on the river!

Here at Chippewa Landing, our number one goal is to get your group on the river from wherever you are staying. In order to facilitate this, we provide shuttle services for locally based groups renting equipment from us. Whether you are camping at one of our great local campgrounds or staying in a hotel or vacation rental. Maybe you live around the corner. We can get your group on the river! Please call to inquire about rates and availability.

We also provide shuttle services for guests who want to bring their own equipment. Give us a call to set up a trip today!
