Canoeing- the original way to get around the Great Lakes

Relive the original mode of personal transportation in Northern Michigan, used by Native Americans, explorers and the first loggers. The canoe still makes a most wonderful way of getting around the historical Inland Waterway. You can put in your own canoe or rent one right for you and your friends/family from many available outfitters. The world looks very different when seen from the water, so paddle along for a relaxing afternoon on a lake or a day of spirited fun on the Sturgeon River. Expert, professional guides are available. Outfitters and many canoe rentals will provide personalized equipment assessments and recommendations to put you and your group in safe and enjoyable environment. From Spring through Fall, Michigan north of the 45th parallel is where you can paddle on thousands of inland lakes and rivers for an unforgettable adventure.
