Clear blue water, scenic views, lunch along the river, and time to explore historic Leland and Fishtown! On this tour, our guide will lead you on a casual paddle along one of Lake Leelanau’s most scenic stretches of water, ending upriver in the quaint fishing village of Leland. Here, you will enjoy lunch overlooking the river and have time to explore the Leland’s boutique shops and its historic district, Fishtown. 

During the paddle, our local guide will point out scenic vistas and landmarks along the shore, and will provide an overview of Historic Leland and what to expect when exploring after lunch. Surrounded by incredible natural beauty you will want to stop and take it all in, and that is no problem. We will pause to take photos of our tour guests along the way, but feel free to bring your waterproof camera! You will want it for the memories!
