Rabbit River

Introduction

The Rabbit River joins the Kalamazoo River near New Richmond, MI. The river is a designated state Natural River from 36th Street downstream 17 miles. The map below contains 3 access sites and about 9 miles of river to paddle from Hamilton, MI to New Richmond. The river along this stretch is windy with occasional tree falls creating the biggest hazard. Average width is about 30-40 feet with a clear sandy bottom in most places and good current. There is very little development along the 9 miles making for a nice escape into a mostly untouched river riparian environment.
