    The AuSable River Queen has been an icon of the river for over 60 years and is the only operational paddle-wheel boat in Northern Michigan. But right now, it’s out of service.

    According to the boat’s owners, without the community’s help the Queen’s future is in murky waters.

    Co-owner Laurie Rice said that COVID-19 and other issues over the past few years have brought rough financial times. Before the River Queen can get back to touring the AuSable, it needs an out-of-water inspection estimated to cost at least $15,000.

    Friends of the boat have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money and keep the River Queen operational, which you can find here.
