Our area is perfect for those who like to spend time on the water. Both Michigan and Ohio offer diverse waterways with access to the Great Lakes and over 80,000 miles of river combined. Kayaking and canoeing are popular ways to explore these natural beauties as they offer a unique perspective on wildlife and landscapes that can’t be accessed by land. It’s also a fun way to boost your physical exercise.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just dipping your toes in the water, there are plenty of places for you to drop your boat and start an adventure! Here are some of the top-rated spots where you can begin. Happy paddling!
