My first topics are geared mostly for beginners: choosing a kayak, kayak accessories, and transporting your kayak. My next topic is general information that applies to all waters.
I will discuss nine places that I have kayaked in the northern lower peninsula with info and photos or maps on each destination. On my home page, click on “Destinations in Michigan’s Northern Lower Peninsula”.
There are over fifty kayaking destinations in southwest Michigan with info and photos of each one. On my home page, click on “Destinations In Southwest Michigan”. The photos and info will appear after the list of destinations.
These are not exotic destinations. They are all easily accessible. I didn’t go into great detail with directions to the various waterways because everyone has a smart phone with a mapping app. Practically all of these lakes and rivers can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of skill level. You won’t need expensive equipment or a big budget to paddle these waterways. Even the “up north” destinations are affordable. Some of the northern lower peninsula waters may not be suitable for beginners. Follow along and you’ll never run out of places to kayak! If you enjoy my site and find it useful, feel free to share it with friends, family, and acquaintances, so that they may experience the scenic waterways that I have kayaked.
