Experience the Fall's Beauty on the Crystal River!
New for the fall of 2025 we are offering trips while improvements to the river’s habitat are taking place.
Experience the beauty of the Crystal River! Our kayak and canoe trips offer a fun adventure the whole family can enjoy.
You’ll be amazed by the clear water and sandy bottom of the Crystal River located within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Throughout this 1-1.5 hour trip, you’ll see Northern Michigan’s true residents: White Tail Deer, Blue Heron, Bald Eagles, otters, turtles, frogs and endless amounts of fish.
After meeting at our shop in Glen Arbor we will transport you and the boats to the head of the Crystal River. From there you will paddle a location right after the first bridge you go under during your paddle. We will pick you up from there!!
