Russell’s Canoe Livery and Campgrounds is located on the beautiful Rifle River in Omer, Michigan. Our office is just 10 miles from exit 188 on I-75. The Detroit area is just a little over two hours from our river locations.
Russells offer many unique river running opportunities. Canoe trips have been offered since 1960, which gives us years of experience dealing with river runners. Canoe and kayak rentals are extremely popular with trips lasting from two to five hours. Overnight trips from two to five nights are also offered.
Rafts may also be rented accommodating form three to eight people. Six man rafts are the most popular. Rafts are more stable but they are also slower than canoes and kayaks.
Canoe, Kayak, Raft, Drift and Tube!!! Russell’s adds fun to family adventures!
Floating the Rifle River in a tube keeps customers cool during the dog days of summer. The Rifle River is shallow with a sandy bottom making it an excellent tubing stream. Family Fun just doesn’t get much better than this. Single tubes are made of vinyl and canvas which provide a non-chafing surface that won’t irritate your skin. Four person tubes are also available, if you want to keep your group together.
The Rifle River drifter (pictured on the right) is unique. You’ve probably never seen one unless you have visited Russells. The drifter is the ultimate in comfort and relaxation.
Russlls two campgrounds have modern facilities with electricity, dump-station, coin operated showers, laundry, picnic tables, grills, fire pits, horseshoes, and volleyball. Both campgrounds are
