  • What if I told you one of Michigan's best kept secrets is location in Port Austin, Michigan? One of the MOST POPULAR things to do during the summer is to KAYAK to TURNIP ROCK.
    Turnip Rock is a small geological formation located off the shores of Lake Huron in Port Austin Michigan. The kayaking route is roughly 7 miles round trip from downtown Port Austin along the beautiful coast of Lake Huron. If you do not own a kayak, I highly recommend Port Austin Kayak (www.portaustinkayak.com/) for all of your kayak rentals. A kayak rental for 4 hours cost $40, they launch you right from their property and is the best company in town! I have rented with them several times and can't recommend them enough!
    Kayaking to Turnip Rock runs from Memorial Day to September. Dates make fluctuate as it all depends on weather and the water. Keep in mind, kayaking may be canceled due to bad weather or rough waters. Your safety is key!

      We have a 4 hour Kayla rental and we returned on the 4 hour mark. We leisurely kayaked there and was quicker coming back. It will all depend on your speed, kayaking level and the water. Once we arrived, we had Turnip Rock to ourselves so we stayed for over an hour to just enjoy.

    Are you allowed to get on top? I'd only go there if I could throw a party on the top of it. I'm thinking a grappling hook around one of the trees and just like gym class climb the rope up where I will then attach a rope ladder somewhere secure for everyone else to get up easier.
