The Shiawassee River Water Trail Coalition is a recognized 501 (c)(3) organization recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. 

Our Coalition is a committed stakeholder association of municipalities, agencies, non-profit corporations and interested individuals along the course of the Shiawassee River between Holly and Chesaning, Michigan. The purpose of the Coalition is to improve and promote public use of the water trail as a valuable resource for non-motorized recreation and tourism and to support and enhance river conservation and stewardship.

By the year 2030, the principal navigation segment of the Shiawassee River flowing from Holly to Chesaning, is a superlative water trail recognized in the Great Lakes Region as a destination for paddling and eco-tourism.  The water trail provides a wide variety of paddling experiences and accommodates people of all skills and abilities. It provides close-to-home outdoor recreation opportunities and ties into the region’s Saginaw Bay Water Trails and non-motorized trail systems.
