Lake State Voyagers paddle the river

NEWS RELEASE
LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY
*************************
First-year Lake Superior State University students power a replica 26-foot Voyager canoe on Aug. 23, the likes of which moved commerce around the 17th century Great Lakes much like semi-trucks do today.

The freshmen were guests of Sault, Ont., canoe owners Gary and Joanie McGuffin and the Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy, who hosted an hour-long paddling tour of the St. Marys River south of Sault, Mich. LSSU recreation studies professor Sally Childs serves on the Conservancy board and helped organize the trip as a first-year college life experience.
