This monument is located off of River Road just outside of Oscoda Michigan. The plaque on the monument reads:
MICHIGAN CANOE RACING ASSOCIATION MEMORIAL MONUMENT
The crossed paddles are the canoeists salute.
These paddles are erected as a tribute to those professional members of the Michigan Canoe Racing Association who were once active in the promotion of canoe racing in Michigan.
As you view the waters of the Au Sable or watch canoes racing on our Michigan streams remember these departed members and their dedication to the sport of canoe racing.
Parking is adjacent to the monument.
While in the area be sure to take in the spectacular Au Sable river and its valley that streaches 2 miles across.
