Au Sable River

Most of people who sign up for the Au Sable River Canoe Marathon don’t look for first place — they just want to finish the longest canoe competition in North America. This year, two sisters were racing for redemption with a core team of support behind them.

The race begins Saturday night and can last up to 19 hours. Teams will compete to break the record time - which currently sits at just under 14 hours.

As public comment continues for the proposed expansion of Camp Grayling, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs announced its opposition to the project.

DNR representatives say the 162,000 acre proposal is likely to scale down in the coming months but many still worry about the military getting closer to their homes and property.

Camp Grayling officials say the land would be used for low-impact, cyber warfare training. Locals around the Au Sable say they need more information before supporting the project.
