Kayak Rentals and Outfitting

State-of-the-art Kayaks and Gear!

We pride ourselves on the fact that we sell the majority of our used kayaks and equipment at the end of each season and in turn, reinvest in new, state-of-the-art kayaks and gear at the start of every year to ensure a high-quality experience for our customers! All our kayaks are made of polymer (molded plastic) and are equipped with two hatches with bulkheads and a rudder.

The big lake has many moods… take time to review Being Prepared – Lake Superior Kayaking!

Adventuring to Isle Royale?

Lake Superior Kayak Rentals, Isle Royale National Park Kayaking

Copper Harbor is one of two ports in Michigan providing passenger ferry service to Isle Royale National Park. Isle Royale is the only island park in the National Park system and is also the largest island in the largest fresh water lake in the world!  It is the least visited of all the National Parks and it’s said that more people visit Yellowstone in a day than Isle Royale in an entire season. A trip to Isle Royale offers a true wilderness experience unlike any other place in the world!   Hiking and boating are the only means of travel, as no vehicles are allowed on Isle Royale.  The island has over 150 miles of shoreline and numerous barrier islands and fjord like bays that can best be explored in a sea kayak.

Our kayak livery is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Isle Royale Queen IV ferry dock.  They will transport kayaks on the ferry for an additional fee. The three-hour, 56-mile journey on board the Isle Royale Queen across the world’s largest freshwater lake, is half the adventure!

IR6.jpgAdventuring the Keweenaw Water Trail?

Copper Harbor is also located on the Keweenaw Water Trail.  This is an established route designed from a paddler’s perspective which will allow the circumnavigation of the Keweenaw Peninsula.  Unique to this trail is the ability to paddle a loop and return to your point of origin without backtracking.  The entire loop can be covered by the average paddler in six to eight days, but allow a few extra days for possibly being wind bound.  This route is recommended for more experienced paddlers.  Sections of the water trail may be done as shorter day or overnight trips.
