Low Bridge Canoe Landing

About Low Bridge Canoe Landing

This is the last take-out on the Pine River and is the most heavily used site because of it. A fenced overlook allows visitors a scenic view of the river, as well as a quiet place to wait for paddlers. A low bridge that the site is named for, crosses the river and is too low for canoes to pass under and is adjacent to a county road. The road and bridge often flood. The county road is a snowmobile trail in the winter.Brochure and Map: This brochure is set to print on 11 x 17 paper, landscape (wide) orientation.
