KAYAKING ACTIVITIES
Paddle with a guide from the Red Cliff Reservation or Meyers Beach. Choose a shallow-water family tour along the Red Cliff shoreline or the famous mainland sea caves of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
Rent a kayak from Red Cliff for a relaxed shoreline paddle, or plan a qualified open-water or overnight Apostle Islands trip with the right safety training and equipment.
See Lake Superior completely differently after dark. Paddle from Red Cliff as kayak lights illuminate the water below, with stars overhead and the historic Fedora shipwreck beneath you.
