Sea Kayak Outfitting
 
  A foggy morning on Isle Royale...photo by Steve Brimm (brimmages.com)Copper Harbor is one of two ports in Michigan providing passenger ferry service to Isle Royale National Park.  It is the only island park in the National Park system and also is the largest island in the largest fresh water lake in the world.  It is the least visited of all the National Parks and offers a true wilderness experience.  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 convienently located next to the Isle Royale Queen IV ferry dock.  They will transport kayaks on the ferry for a fee.   
  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 windbound.  This route is recommended for more experienced paddlers.  Sections of the water trail may be done as shorter day or overnight trips.   
  Outfitting packages (Sport and Expedition) include:  "Boreal Design" or "Necky" sea kayak equipped with a rudder and two bulk heads, paddle, spray skirt, life vest(PFD), wet suit, bilge pump, paddle float, a whistle and at least 2 drybags per person. VHF / weather radios, emergency strobe lights and binoculars may be rented for an additional charge.  
  GROUP SPECIAL:  10% discount for groups of 6 or more people on kayak rentals. (must mention web site)  
  All of our sea kayaks are made by BOREAL DESIGN and NECKY. All boats are made of polymer and are equipped with a rudder.
