One of the most popular paddling destinations in Michigan is the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The scenery along this stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline includes large sand dunes, sandy beaches, and dense wooded terrain. The area is also popular due to the frequent and convenient access points. This trip starts at the access area at Cannery Beach and heads north up to Good Harbor Bay. The day trip covers relatively easy waters but winds on Lake Michigan can make for some challenging waters so avoid windy conditions.
