Join experienced trip leader Kyle Bagnall on an adventure through the Lake Superior State Forest near Whitefish Point. The highlight of our journey will be a kayaking trip on the Tahquamenon River from the Lower Falls to the Rivermouth. Abundant wildlife in this area includes moose, black bear, wolves, fisher, beaver, pine marten, and many migrating birds. We'll also visit nearby Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, relax on the Lake Superior shore and view Michigan's largest waterfall at Tahquamenon Falls State Park.  

Lodging: Our group will tent camp in the rustic section of Tahquamenon Falls State Park Rivermouth Campground for two nights. The site features abundant natural beauty and access to amenities (flush toilets and showers) in the adjacent modern campground. Participants will bring and prepare their own meals in a combination of camp cooking and sack lunches for the river. Transportation will be in CNC’s 15-passenger van.

Gear: CNC kayaks, paddles, PFDs, dry bags and other group gear are provided at no extra charge. Tents are available for loan or you can bring your own. Participants must furnish their own sleeping bags and other personal gear. 

If weather or water conditions are not favorable this trip it will be canceled and participants will be refunded. Contact Kyle Bagnall at (989) 631-0830 or kbagnall@chippewanaturecenter.org for more information.
