    Wow, the changing shades of water, breathtaking! That's what I call scenic kayaking!

    Americans spend thousands of dollars each year to see sites outside of the US when there is such beauty to be seen here at home. The awesomeness of those cliffs and boil-holes into the cliff sides is breathtaking. I'm looking at upper MI, close to the lakes for a spot of my own. They are predicting that MI will be one of the states to remain untouched by global warming. There is also lots of treed lots still available at reasonable prices! If I move from New England to MI, I'm definitely packing my kayak!

      Michigan has some very pretty places for sure . If you really want beautiful wilderness all around you it doesn’t hold a candle to a lot of the northern side of Lake Superior though

    Superior has such gorgeouse rocky shore line's, Bay's, caves and variouse Islands to explore yet the water is so cold one cant swim . The Mackinaw Bridge scares the crape out of me it is so massive , Thank you for a wee tour around a section of Grand Island looked amazing. Ontario

      It sure does !! it really is a good idea to have a dry suit, the proper gear and skills . like you said the water is really cold. there seems to be a lot of people that don't like crossing the bridge . I love it . no problem I'm just happy you liked it !

    Very nice! Spent the second week of July in a tent at Lower Hurricane while my bride volunteered at the light station. The opening looks very much like the Lake Superior overlook and the Hurricane River. Glad I found your channel.
