When we visited in 2008 we had our inflatable with us. Of course, that ended up being one of the coolest/wettest summers (according to the locals) in recent years. I did not use it anywhere near as much as I had hoped to. A couple considerations - water temps are cold! If you paddle in Michigan you are likely used to that. The bigger bodies of water can get pretty rough pretty quick - I had both dry top and wetsuit with me, and of course good PFD! The rivers were certainly big and fast - not suitable for a casual paddler. Was I glad to have it with me when I did use it? Yes - but as I said - that was on just a few occasions. As others said, we were there to sightsee - didn't spent a lot of time in any one place too often - usually just a night or 2 - like was already stated - our days were full - and we were 101 nights on the road!
