The Belle offers a 1-hour historical narrated tour of the Frankenmuth area via the Cass river on our 150 passenger paddlewheel riverboat. The Bavarian Belle is an open air/canopied upper deck and fully enclosed climate controlled lower salon deck. The salon deck offers a snack bar and soft drinks as well as tables for small groups and restrooms. The Belle dock is located at the waterfall in the River Place Shopping village.
