Paddle the shores of Lake Superior Provincial Park just north of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. This park is home to rich Ojibwa history, rare wildlife, and a rugged wilderness shoreline. Sea kayak Lake Superior all day and each evening, after we set up our home away from home, we’ll enjoy a delicious meal together enjoying a world-class sunset on a wilderness beach.
What you will see during your Lake Superior kayak trip
Traveling North to South, from Old Woman’s Bay to Agawa Bay, the sights are spectacular. Bald eagles soar over 300-foot cliffs, while Peregrine Falcons hunt and nest among the cliffsides. Swim in turquoise water, discover waterfalls in the woods, and camp on phenomenal wilderness beaches, some sandy, some cobblestone, many with kilometers of no one but you. There are woodland hikes that leave from the beaches we camp on to explore on any windy day.
Nature and culture collide with a grand finale: paddling past the 35 or so Ojibwa pictographs on a 98-foot sheer rock face. This is an incredibly sacred place where for generations Ojibwa people have been coming to record their dreams and spirits in Red Ochre.
Your Lake Superior kayak trip guides
Joedy and Jeff will be your guides for this high-end, fully outfitted trip. They have extensive training and experience to keep the group safe and within their comfort zone. Equally important, they knows the best campsites, the hidden waterfalls, and where to hike backcountry. Joedy and Jeff are also Paddle Canada instructors which means they can help to offer coaching tips and tricks to improve your skills during the trip.
Sea Kayaking trips on Lake Superior are inherently at the mercy of the elements. Some days are just better spent having hot chocolate and freshly baked brownies on the beach! Wind days can also be spent hiking or honing paddling, rescue or rolling skills.
Why trip with us? We love what we do and that shows in the way our guides treat our guests. Passionate and inclusive, they are excited to travel with you through one of the most beautiful wilderness environments on earth. See you on the water soon!
