Paddle Tahquamenon: 2 Day Trip Itinerary

Pretty Lakes Quiet Area

In this part of Michigan, most days the locals find some way to get out and enjoy the water. There is nothing quite like a quiet paddle to bring life into perspective. Canoe or Kayak, river or lake, an hour or a day…there is just nothing quite like life on the water.

Looking for a peaceful spot to paddle, hike, fish, and camp for a day or two try Paddle Pretty Lakes Quiet Area. A humble little sanctuary of five small and undeveloped lakes. The lakes that form the heart of this special place are small and easily explored during the course of a day. Short portages, connect the lakes that offer clear, cold water and unspoiled sandy shorelines of white pine, cedar, spruce, and poplar. The use of motors on the lakes is forbidden, adding to the sense of tranquility and solitude that prevails here.

Pretty Lakes is just one of many paddling places along the Byway. Locals will lead you to others and have helped shape this handy paddling itinerary to help guide you on your paddling adventure!
