The Paw Paw River is a peaceful jewel

Bette Pierman | Benton Harbor, Michigan

The Paw Paw River is a beautiful and peaceful jewel in Southwestern Michigan. As I have gained kayak paddling experience, while also enjoying nature’s beauty, I am pleased to be joining others to work on turning this into a Michigan Water Trail. Viewing wildflowers, turtles sunbathing, and view Mother Nature turning discarded tires into floating gardens makes my heart smile on most river days.
