The best way to experience the beauty of the AuSable River is to slip slowly back in time on an authentic paddlewheel-powered riverboat. The classic double-decker, decked out in red, white and blue, meanders down the AuSable River twice daily in the summer months.  Come Fall Foliage season, the schedule expands to three tours daily. The departure spot is just a 15-minute drive from the Huron House. 

In summer, Take the 2-hour round-trip tour and you’ll witness some of the most beautiful shorelines of the AuSable River; learn about its rich logging heritage and the six operational hydroelectric plants, and view wildlife such as swans, loons and eagles.   Summer tours start daily at Noon and 3:00 pm through August 31, advance reservations are encouraged by calling 989-739-7351. Live music cruises are offered on select Saturday evenings in July and August and a Wine & Cheese Tasting Cruise is available on July 12. Visit the website (www.ausableriverqueen.com) for more information and times. Reservations are a must for the evening cruises.

Fall is a spectacular time to cruise along the forested backwaters of the Mighty AuSable River displaying a full spectrum of brilliant fall colors.  From orange maples and red Sumac to the yellow birch and beech trees, the view is awesome. Fall Tours depart daily at Noon and 3:00 pm and on weekends at 10:00 am, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm from September 27 to October 19, 2014. Reservations are a must and many tours are already sold out!
