If Michigan is the Water Wonderland then Northern Michigan is the "epic center". There are so many options once you gain the freedom of Stand-up Paddle. Explore the sandy crystal clear waters of Lake Michigan or one of the inland spring fed lakes or rivers. The lake bottom is always changing creating sand bars, exposing rock shoals, sunken forests and shipwrecks. I will get you up and paddling. In no time you will be exploring the jewels of Northern Michigan that are truly one of a kind. Paddle some glassy flats, catch a downwinder or be lucky enough to get some summer surf.
