Grand Marais- Pic. Rocks- Grand Is.
Skill Level: Int. - Adv. Departs: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Cost: $999 Length: 6 days	Hiawatha Water Trail: Grand Marais - Pictured Rocks - Grand Island This 6 day adventure covers the most scenic areas of the Hiawatha Water Trail and lots of folks claim it to be the most scenic kayaking trip you can take in the United States, certainly in the Midwest. It is not a trip for a novice and although we have to respect the conditions that Lake Superior gives us, we try to keep somewhat on a schedule to complete the 58 mile distance in the days planned. It is best to plan for at least one day and possibly two ashore due to weather. But on the good paddling days we try to make up some distance lost. Best time of the year is mid June thru mid August. Route covers the entire Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Grand Island in Lake Superior.
