Looking to explore the beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula from a new angle? You don’t have to go far—some of the most peaceful, scenic paddling can be found just around the bend from Hiawatha Snow’d Inn. Enter: Baldy Shores Kayaking.
This small, local outfitter makes it easy for guests to launch directly into the clear waters of Indian River. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, the slow current and narrow channel offer a calm, intimate experience with nature.
You’ll float past lily pads, watch turtles sunbathe, and maybe even catch sight of an eagle soaring above. With no loud boat traffic and a world away from the hustle of everyday life, this is the kind of kayaking that soothes the soul.
Why We Love It:
- It’s beginner-friendly and great for families.
- Shuttle pick up from the Tommy Page Access/parking site and gear is provided at the launch site.
- Early morning paddles offer incredible fog-on-the-water views (bring your camera!).
- Peaceful, uncrowded spot to explore the UP by water
