We chose to go with a professionally guided tour (Pictured Rocks Kayaking company) since we are unfamiliar with the area, the weather patterns, and Lake Superior - which rarely gets above 60 degrees F and can quickly cause hypothermia.
Lieutenant Dan (nicknamed before the movie) was the founder of this company
Grand Island East Channel Lighthouse opened 1868
The young man guiding the kayaks down was our guide, Bryce
The water was calm and the formations and colors were incredible!
We do need to work on our tandem skills!
A section that had collapsed
The last quarter of the way had much rougher water with decent waves. The Captain canceled the afternoon tours because of it. We were so glad we chose a guided tour and that we went in the morning!
Stopped in at the ByGeorge Brewing Company for a cold one and some eats before heading to our boondocking location in the Hiawatha National Forest.
