Both Hoffman Park and Davis Park feature a floating, universal accessible, launch.
This is a quiet segment of the Cass River Water Trail. Some stretches are slightly narrower and shallower than the previous sections. Dodging fallen tree, debris, and sand bars is more common on this stretch of river. However, portaging is not normally required. The area is primarily rural with some homes seen from the river, but there are also long stretches that have a nice riparian forest corridor. The river current is normally slow to moderate.
A paddler will pass under the I-75 Highway Bridge about midway through the trip and the under the Fort Road Bridge as on nears Davis Park.
