Canoe and Kayak Trips

Viewing nature from a canoe or kayak is an unique experience sure to make wonderful memories. For the quiet, careful paddler, a surprise awaits around every bend.

Our self-guided trips are from 1 ½ hours to 3 or more days in length and are enjoyed by all skill levels. Paddle a canoe or a user-friendly sport kayak on one of our area’s remote and scenic rivers. It’s truly an experience you’ll never forget!

We specialize in small, personalized group trips (2-6 people) although we offer trips for larger groups by special arrangement. A smaller group size allows for a
greater chance to view wildlife and a more enjoyable paddle.

Because of our personalized service we do not have a daily trip schedule. Reservations with a 25% deposit are advised to assure you of your requested trip.  Regretfully, we cannot control Mother Nature and cannot issue refunds due to poor weather but will issue a “rain check” which you can apply to a future trip. Cancellations on our part (i.e. poor water conditions or severe weather), or with a 10 day advance notice will receive a full refund.

Northwoods Eco Tour
A GUIDED WEEKEND KAYAK PADDLE AND HIKE THROUGH A PICTURESQUE NATURAL WILD
AREA IN THE MAGNIFICENT NORTH WOODS ALONG THE MICHIGAN WISCONSIN BORDER.

You can leisurely paddle a recreational kayak on a remote lake, hike to a nearby rocky gorge to view a spectacular waterfall, and discover the flora and fauna of one of the remaining wild areas of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin - all under the close guidance of trained interpretive guides.
Viewing nature up close from the seat of a kayak is a unique experience sure to provide wonderful memories. Quiet and careful paddlers will find a surprise around every bend of the shoreline while enjoying the wild natural and scenic beauty of the North Woods as it slips by. A gentle doe and her fawn, a soaring eagle, a scooting family of elusive ducks, melodious songbirds, and a statuesque great blue heron are among the more common animals that might be encountered along the way. Others could make their appearance at any time.
Wild flowers of the North Woods add wonderful and unexpected splashes of color the edges and floor of these wild areas. Our interpretive guides are well trained in the understanding of the unique ecology of these beautiful plants, as well as the various wild animals that might be encountered, and will endeavor to pass that knowledge on during the tour.

Opportunities for outstanding photographs will abound. The unique hard rock geology that has allowed for the creation and development of this spectacular North Woods area will be pointed out during the tour. The long and diverse history of the land and its historic occupants will also be discussed.
This guided weekend, all-inclusive, Northwoods Eco Tour package involves an orientation gathering Friday night to meet our interpretive guides and discuss agendas; a guided paddle and hike during the day on Saturday; dinner and a selected nature-based program presentation at a favorite supper club Saturday evening; and a second guided paddle tour and/or guided hike on Sunday morning.

These kayaks are extremely stable, easy to paddle and possess very large cockpits with comfortable seats. We specialize in personalized service and design our guided trips around a very relaxed atmosphere.
