Canoeist Marty Plante paddled a 13-mile section of the Cedar River near the village of Indian Lake last fall. He returned in early April to revisit a section to get some photos, but he found the river locked up with ice. So he went upstream and found some open water a few rapids to run. Above are some photos I took of him from that trip. An article describing his 13-mile journey can be found in the May issue of the Explorer.
