Class I West Branch Whitefish River, MI

The Whitefish River is cold, swift, and deep in the early spring, challenging canoeists and kayakers and providing good steelhead fishing. During the summer, much of the river becomes too shallow for canoeing, but offers fishing for brook trout in the upper reaches and a variety of warm-water species downstream from the confluence of the East and West Branches. The river is located on the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

This stretch of the canoe trail meets the East Branch approximately 3 1/2 miles south of FR-2236. There is no intermediate access at this point. They then continue together to the public launch at Rapid River.
