START AT KRUGER'S LANDING (just north of Mt. Hope Avenue on Aurelius Rd.).

END AT ROTARY PARK (305 River Front Dr Lansing, MI 48912.)

Begin your adventure at Kruger's Landing on the Red Cedar River, named after Lansing local and world-renowned Paddling Pro, Verlen Kruger. Your journey will wind you around the outer edge of the Potter Park Zoo, where you'll hear peacocks calling, if you're lucky, you might see some other animals. Keep your eyes up to the sky and you'll likely see blue herons or the nesting wild bald eagles that reside along the river. This route can be a little technical and tough to maneuver when the water is low, but the route is generally good for beginner paddlers. The Red Cedar flows into the Grand River at River Point Park, where you'll continue paddling a short distance to Rotary Park.
