Paddling near Munising, MI

Munising sits in Alger County on the southern shore of Lake Superior, at the doorstep of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The area draws paddlers for one reason above all others: kayaking beneath the towering sandstone cliffs, sea caves, and pink-sand beaches of the lakeshore. The Au Train River through Hiawatha National Forest rounds out the scene with a mellow flatwater alternative.
