Canoeists Rest On Remains Of Old Grist Mill On Huron River, October 1938 Photographer: Eck Stanger
Year:
1938
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, October 26, 1938
Caption:
CANOEISTS' RESTING PLACE: Just above Ann Arbor the remnants of an old dam, the last evidence of the grist mill which once stood there, offer a resting place for canoeists. In the days before the white man came to Michigan, the Huron formed a portion of the Indians' network of water trails. Most of the river is now navigable by canoe, but if camp sites and portages were developed along the Huron and Clinton rivers, the two streams could be utilized for healthful, pleasure-giving overnight canoe trips by the residents of southeastern Michigan.

For the current spell of hot June weather, few things beat the pleasures of peaceful canoeing on the Huron River. The occupants of this one have laid aside the paddle and are content to drift with the whim of the river.

AADL Talks To: Janis Bobrin, Former Washtenaw County Drain Commissioner
Janis Bobrin came to the University of Michigan in 1969 to study urban planning and quickly became politically active in environmental issues with a particular interest in water resource management. She eventually served six terms as Washtenaw County Drain Commissioner. Since retiring as Drain Commissioner in 2012, Janis has served on numerous regional boards including the Huron River Watershed Council, the Michigan League of Conservation Voters, and Dawn Farm. Janis talks with us about some of the projects she undertook as Drain Commissioner and the many challenges she and her staff faced over the years. She also talks with us about Ann Arbor's ongoing efforts to address the Pall-Gelman dioxane spill and issues surrounding urban planning and density.
Read more about Janis Bobrin in historical articles from the Ann Arbor News and Ann Arbor Observer.
