Looking for a road trip? This is the one for you! My name is Jo Anne an adventurous, creative New Zealander currently living in Detroit. What to expect about this trip? Lake Superior is the greatest, cleanest, and wildest of the fabulous and immense Great Lakes. Famous for its white fish and walleye, the southern shoreline is a haven for beauty. The spring burst floods the forest floor with lights, the birdsong builds joy, and the magnificent lake floods us with wonder. Expect to be picked up at Sawyer International Airport which is a scenic 58-minute drive to the charming lakeside town of Munising and our lakeside accommodation. The afternoon is free time to explore the town and there are numerous short walks from the house.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Day 5
On Friday we are booked for a cruise and kayaking tour. Pictured Rocks Kayaking have devised a magnificent trip along the Pictured Rocks without the big paddle to the area. The cruise book sails along Grand Island to the lakeshore for 45 minutes pointing out interesting areas. The kayaks are launched safely off the cruise boat from kayak ramps, and experts lead the group on a 5-mile guided tour. Get up close and personal with Lovers Leap, Chapel Cove, Limbo cave, and many others. The boat will stay with the tour in case of a rest break or a weather change to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.

Grand Marais Lighthouse
Day 5
We drive to Grand Marais to check out the historic lighthouse and experience the spectacular and untouched Grand Sable Dunes. The highest point of the National Lakeshore is a desert-like ecosystem that hosts both old forest and new grassy growth close to the lake edge. There is an opportunity to slide down the famous log roll or just take some to stroll around this unique landscape and take in the quiet and serene landscape.
