When I lived in Long Beach California, Id go Ocean and marsh kayaking and even when I lived in Ohio I enjoyed all the river routes near where I lived.
Now I live in Chicago and not sure of where to go. any other kayakers in the area? I'm not big on lake, but I'm sure iwht a lake this size its more like ocean. Any river routes in a good driving distance?
A few years ago, I kayaked around the Apostle islands in Lake Superior. Basically camped on a different island every night. The distance between islands can range from 1 to 20 miles, so plan accordingly.
There are Kayak rental shops in Bayfield , Wisc who can provide kayaks, life jackets and maps. Bayfield has a very 1960's hippy vibe so is not part of red neck northern Wisconsin. Outside of Milwaukee and Madison , Ashland/Bayfield is the other ultra liberal spot in Wisconsin.
Trek & Trail is the company my friends and I went with. We did an unescorted trip. We rented the Kayaks, life jackets and weather radio but declined a guide. They also provided road transportation to the starting off point that we selected.
We decided the route and how many miles a day we should plan for, in order to be back in Bayfield in time. It was an awesome trip,
