Paddling Michigan

We loved our kayaking trip along the Painted Rock Shoreline! Our guide Annie was great and informative with a good sense of humor. Unfortunately, the person checking us in at the desk neglected to tell half of the group that we were supposed to grab our provided lunch from the refrigerator before boarding the bus so many of us didn't have our lunch when we stopped, assuming that they would be dropped off at the lunch stop. Thankfully we each had packed a small snack to hold us over until our lunches were brought to the last stop. The hike out was doable, but definitely longer than expected following several hours of paddling. We did the eight hour package and decided we probably didn't want to have that hike afterwards, but we are so glad we did this trip, it was beautiful and very doable for people that aren't typically very active or in shape!
