Kayaking on Lake Superior, Canada

Have you ever kayaked on Lake Superior?

It’s quite incredible.

You might have to wait a few days to get a perfect calm day but if you are in a sit on top you can try the waves. They get big. Very big. It’s like the Ocean on some days.

Lake Superior is by far the deepest of the Great Lakes. The Water is clear, cold and clean.

A wavy day on Superior. If you have a sit-in recreational kayak you have to be very careful that you don’t take on water since you will quickly lose balance and tip with the next wave.

We lean back and make sure we are nose 1st into the waves.

Lake Superior Provincial Park is about 2 hours North of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We make the drive up every summer to camp out along the East and North Shore of the Big Lake.
