Our Story
Welcome to Kayaking Michigan, where a passion for adventure and a love for the Great Lakes State come together.
Hi, I'm Sarah, the founder of Kayaking Michigan. My journey with kayaking began on a girls' trip to Florida near Tampa Bay. It was my first time paddling through those crystal-clear waters, and the experience left an indelible mark on my soul. From that moment, I was on a mission to have a kayak of my own.
The following year, my then-boyfriend, now fiancé, surprised me with my very first kayak as a birthday gift. It was the beginning of a beautiful adventure. Today, I've not only cultivated a profound love for kayaking but have also acquired and own six kayaks in our growing fleet.
Our Mission:
At Kayaking Michigan, our mission is to share the exhilarating beauty of Michigan's waterways and inspire others to embark on their kayaking journeys. We believe that every stroke of the paddle brings us closer to nature and to the essence of who we are.
What Makes Us Unique:
What sets Kayaking Michigan apart is our deep connection to the kayaking community and our commitment to sharing the magic of Michigan's natural landscapes. We're not just about kayaking; we're about fostering a sense of adventure, camaraderie, and appreciation for the world around us.
Our Journey:
Throughout the kayaking season, which spans from early spring to late fall, I seize every opportunity to explore Michigan's rivers, lakes, and waterways. This year alone, I've embarked on over 10 memorable trips in the mid-Michigan area, capturing breathtaking moments and creating lasting memories.
Our Future:
As we continue our journey, we're excited to expand our focus beyond sharing captivating pictures and videos. Our vision includes compiling valuable trip information, tips, and insights from the adventures we've taken, making it easier for fellow kayaking enthusiasts to discover and enjoy the beauty of Michigan's waters.
Join us on this exciting voyage as we paddle through the seasons, embracing the wonder of Michigan's waterways one stroke at a time. Together, we'll explore, inspire, and celebrate the spirit of adventure.
