Inland Waterway

[Durand Dan]

Well, my wife has always wanted to travel the Inland Waterway from beginning to end. So this week we are headed up to the Great North to give it a shot. I'd like to get some input so I can make this a great experience for the wife (and me ). Any suggestions?

Most likely going both ways. Any hotels with docking?

Best Western in Cheboygan anyway. Can't remember if there's something small on the Crooked River? Seems like there is but it has been a long time since I've gone through the Crooked River.
