Return from Pictured Rocks

A group of seven paddlers from 41 North paddled Grand Island and Pictured Rocks for seven days. During this time the group experinced near perfect weather, were exposed to Bald Eagles, Loons, Herons, Ducks, and Bears.

For more read on.











The group left Munising Tourist Campground and began paddling around Grand Island on our way to Trout Bay.







While enroute to Trout Bay we passed the Light House across from Sand Point. The Government abandoned the house many years ago. Recently a private group purchased the lighthouse and has began to restore it.








As the group progress along Grand Island the cliffs began to rise.








Even on Grand Island the cliff faces began to show some of the coloring of the area.









As the day progressed and the temperatures rose we stopped to play in the falling water often.









We also got to cruise through a number of sea caves throughout the week.








Two happy paddlers after rock gardening.

















There was time for play and rock/cliff jumping.








One of the many unique formations we encountered during the week.








A view through the arch at Lovers Leap.








A view of the Mosiquito river and Beach. We all discovered that camping at sites along Pictured rocks was very different than camping on Grand Isle.








View from the beach of our last night before returning to Munising.








I found it very difficult to do justice to a weeks worth of adventure in these paddling areas in a short blog. We took over a hundred pictures each worthy of being in this blog. I hope you would talk to one of us on the trip and ask questions as I know I was effected and improved by this trip and the people on it.
