Kayaking Pictured Rocks and The Au Train River

Since Pictured Rocks is best viewed from the water, kayaking gives paddlers intimate views of the sandstone cliffs, sea caves and rock formations.

Pictured Rocks Enormous sandstone cliffs, majestic beaches with pink sand, deep forests, sand dunes, and waterfalls make up the 42-mile-long national lakeshore of Pictured Rocks. In the summer, guided kayak tours are offered every day. Lake Superior can be as dangerous as it is beautiful. There is no shoreline along the rocks and some kayakers have found themselves in situations they had not anticipated. Conditions can change quickly. So, it’s highly recommended to go with an experienced guide.

The Au Train River Canoe Pathway is a slower paced, relaxing trip where you will see and hear more of the natural wilderness.

The Au Train River offers 10 miles of excellent canoeing or kayaking through the Hiawatha National Forest. If you are going to fish, you will need a Michigan fishing license. Enjoy this quiet relaxing trip for the entire family without rapids or portages along the river.
