Kayaking - A Beginner's Guide



The Downriver Linked Greenways Initiative (DLGI) began in 1999 as a result of the Downriver Summit, hosted by Congressman John D. Dingell. It is a community-driven regional effort to coordinate non-motorize transportation in the Downriver area. The Downriver communities recognize the importance and need for the improvement of issues surrounding the quality of life of Downriver residents, employees and visitors by connecting communities to one another and to the larger Southeast Michigan Region.
