THE LAUNCH

Ridges Road Beach Departure

All rentals depart from Ridges Road Beach in Baileys Harbor under the Lakeshore Adventures operation — the established meeting and launch point for these multi-day paddles.

THE FLEET

Single and Tandem Configurations

Every kayak can be set up as a single (one paddler) or a tandem (two paddlers), so groups can mix and match boats to suit party size and comfort.

THE FORMAT

Self-Guided, Multi-Day Rentals

These are multi-day, self-guided rentals: you take the kayaks and plan your time on the water while following the safety recommendations provided by Lakeshore Adventures.

What the day feels like

How the days unfold on the water

Each rental begins at the Ridges Road Beach launch. Parties select single or tandem kayaks, carry necessary ID and a phone, and set out on self-directed paddling for the multi-day rental period; Lakeshore Adventures provides safety guidance on water conditions, and renters remain responsible for their group’s conduct and safety.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this fits — and who should take extra care

1
Active CouplesCouples who want flexible pacing and the option to paddle together or separately will appreciate single or tandem configurations; the operator provides safety guidance but each couple is responsible for their own decisions on the water.
2
Groups of FriendsGroups can mix singles and tandems to match party size and experience; everyone must remain sober and able to follow safety guidance or they may be excluded from participation.
3
FamiliesFamilies can rent multiple kayaks in single or tandem setups to fit their needs, but any participant with medical concerns should consult a physician beforehand and the operator may refuse participation for safety reasons.
4
Travelers with Medical ConcernsNot ideal without medical clearance: pregnant people are advised to get a doctor’s approval, and anyone unsure about a condition should consult their doctor before renting.
