Description

Explore Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula by Kayak

LEELANAU BY KAYAK is a comprehensive guidebook documenting the 100-mile Great Lakes shoreline and inland waterways of Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula. This hardcover edition provides detailed information for kayakers seeking to explore one of Michigan's most scenic coastal regions.

Coverage of Leelanau's Waterways

The guide covers the peninsula's diverse paddling destinations, including massive dunes south of Empire, the dunes at Sleeping Bear, and Pyramid Point to the north. The shoreline features sandy shores, wooded bluffs, and impressive inland hills throughout areas both within and outside the National Lakeshore.

Approximately 40 named inland lakes in Leelanau County are documented with public accessibility information suitable for kayak launching. The guide also includes three lakes on the Manitou Islands: Lake Manitou and Tamarack Lake on North Manitou Island, plus Florence Lake on South Manitou Island.

Three rivers suitable for kayaking are featured: the Leland River, Cedar River, and Crystal River. These waterways provide alternatives when wind conditions make open water paddling challenging.
