Classes & Tours

Paddle to Long Island with Ali from Trek & Trail

Off the beaten path, Long Island is one of the most undervalued places in the Apostle Islands. Long ago, the shallow water that now spans between the isthmus and Madeline Island was a sand bar that invited the Anishinaabe people to follow the guidance of the great creator and settle in now-called LaPointe. Zaagawaamikong-neyaashi (Long Island) boasts a wide grassy beach, home to nesting birds like piping plovers. Two lighthouses and a connecting boardwalk make it a great place to get out and stretch legs. Come join us for a social paddle, crossing 3 miles from Bayview Beach to the point of Long Island. (6 miles total) Click for launch location

Youth Clinic with Doug Liphart & Beth Reed

Doug & Beth are long time educators with over 30 years experience paddling the Apostle Islands. Last year they met families at Siskiwit lake (5 miles from the event site) and introduced kayaking with kids games. Small kayaks available. More details will be forthcoming!

All ages welcome, but this one's for kids. (And families)

Downwind Paddle with Greg from Lost Creek Adventures

The idea behind a downwind paddle is to paddle as little as possible, while surfing as much as possible. If we get wind and a good route, we'll drop off in one area, and get picked up in another. 5 to 10 mile paddle depending upon wind direction. If we don't have wind we'll just have to paddle harder!
