AuTrain River Paddling - in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
This video features my wife and I paddling the AuTrain River in Au Train, Michigan. We started at Cameron Crossing, just north of Lake AuTrain along Forest Lake Rd. We then spent the next 3.5 hours canoeing this beautiful river, eventually ending up in beautiful Lake Superior. This video highlights some of the beauty that this river provides for those who decide to kayak, canoe, SUP, or paddle otherwise. We did not use a livery service this time as the canoe we used came free with the cabin we rented. It just so happened that the cabin was on the river as well, which made for a super convenient river experience.
If you want an awesome Upper Peninsula experience in the Munising / AuTrain / Marquette area, I highly suggest checking out autrainrivercottage.com . Our experience renting our cabin from them was great! The owner is super friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area and the great things to see there.

Pinewood Lodge Resort - Outside
Your Own 7500' Log Resort On Private 700' Lake Superior Sand Beach Near Munising.
The Pinewood Lodge is just a 10 minute drive from Munising and the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This incredible 7500 square foot private log estate is located on one of the top 10 inland lake sand beaches in the U.S. and is nestled in the shelter of Au Train Bay. Our guests will have the luxury of enjoying several hundred feet of a perfect (rock-free) private sand beach with lakeside fire pits and a stunning custom log gazebo overhanging the beach & overlooking majestic Lake Superior and Au Train Island. If you love spending time outdoors and soaking up the sun, you will enjoy the 5000 square feet of deck surrounding it as well as thousands of feet of wooded walking paths with romantic private sitting areas. Finally, you can relax in the full size indoor cedar sauna after a long day of activities.
This lodge is the largest single structure vacation rental in the entire Pictured Rocks area and comfortably sleeps up to 34 people (not including 2 toddler beds). There are 10 bedrooms, 7 full and 1 half bath, 2 fully stocked granite counter topped kitchens, dining seating for 36 (+ 2 highchairs), as well as abundant sitting area for socializing in either the east or west great rooms—each with its own unique fireplace (constructed with stones hand-picked from the Lake Superior shore). (Please e-mail for expanded floor plan drawings.) Everything needed for the comforts of home are provided in this lodge including on-site laundry, 3 gas grills, basic condiments and spices, and all dinner and cookware for your large group. Pinewood Lodge is also equipped with dish TV, wireless high speed internet, DVD players, movies, as well as game system inputs that are provided on the TV in the Kid Cave.
Our location is only a 15 minute drive to countless sightseeing adventures which include dozens of waterfalls and boat tours of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. If you enjoy hiking, biking or snowmobiling, trails are nearby—or just hop on a ferry and spend the day enjoying Grand Island (Grand Island Tours rents bicycles, kayaks and SUPs). Also just two miles east from the lodge is the Au Train River with kayak and canoe rentals—where you can enjoy a leisurely 3 hour ride for under $30 per person. Less than half a mile away from the lodge, you will find a public boat launch for your ultimate fishing experience as well as the historic Brownstone Inn with great food, a large craft beer selection, and a comfortable atmosphere.
We recently acquired this property−which was built in the 1990s and was once locally known as the Pinewood Lodge Bed & Breakfast; in Spring 2017, we renovated the lodge to convert it into a large capacity vacation rental. We added the second full kitchen, all new carpeting, bedding, linens and custom log furniture. The transformation is now complete and ready for you to enjoy! Even though the Pinewood Lodge is new to VRBO, you can view our other vacation rentals located 2 miles east on the Au train River (search Reel Inn Cabin, capacity of 6-8 and Reel Inn Lodge, capacity of 14-20) for customer reviews. If needed, your group could plan ahead and combine all three properties for a total group capacity of 60.
Pictured Rocks Kayaking
In this video I take you along while I kayak Pictured Rocks near Munising Michigan. This is by far one of my absolute favorite kayaking experiences EVER! This video journals my experience throughout the day and is my best attempt to highlight the beauty of this national lake shore.
This video is split up into a few parts, and here's why...
We used Uncle Ducky's Paddling Michigan as our guide service. ( They offer several options to paddle Pictured Rocks, and so I thought it would be appropriate to split the video up into segments that would reflect the type of trip you might experience should you book with them.
The trip we chose was the paddle and hike. This took us along roughly 14 miles of beautiful Lake Superior shoreline, and then ended with a 3 mile hike to a pickup point. In the middle, we stopped for lunch at Mosquito Beach.
Some trips they offer just go to the point where you eat lunch and then return home. In my opinion, you miss out on a lot if you just paddle halfway and then back.
If you ever want to paddle this, I highly suggest long sleeve everything as the stable flies are AWFUL! Whatever wasn't covered, they attempted to bite.

So what sorts of adventures await you in the UP? The trees conceal the fact that this is a land of waterways. There are lakes, rivers, streams, and springs all over. Want to see waterfalls, you've come to the right place! The UP has plenty of them, and pretty ones at that! There are so many in fact that our kids started to complain every time we said we were going to see another one. Though they loved the ones they could play in.
Want to go to the beach...no problem. The UP is surrounded by three of the Great Lakes. If you've never seen the Great Lakes you owe it to yourself to experience these massive bodies of water. It's just like going to the ocean, except it's not salty, and Look Ma, no Sharks!
There are many boat tours around the Great Lakes that are really cool. We did a glass bottom boat tour, to see some of Lake Superiors many shipwrecks. Yes you heard right, shipwrecks. Thousands of ships have been sunk on the great lakes, and their clear waters make it possible to see and even scuba dive around many of them.
If you want to go boating but control your own destiny, consider Kayaking. In Michigan we discovered and fell in love with kayaking. Our Airbnb rental came with several kayaks and was right on the river. We spent almost every day paddling up and down the Au Train River, and couldn't get enough. The rivers excluded, The Great Lakes themselves have some world class kayaking destinations, such as the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, and Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore in the UP itself.
If you don't feel like going by boat, the National Lake Shore is also accessible by land, and offers sweeping vistas of the lake, amazing hiking, and places to camp.
If you are in to Rock-hounding, This area offers some interesting finds, such as Lake Superior Agates and Petoskey stones. We found both without much effort.
Another fun thing to do in the UP is to visit Kitch-iti-Kipi or Big Spring, Michigan's largest natural freshwater spring. The spring is crystal clear and full of giant fish. There's a floating pavilion on the spring that you can take out to the middle where you stare down through 42 feet of crystal clear water straight to the bottom. You can see the sandy floor bubbling and boiling as 16,000 gallons of spring water bubble up per minute. It's really cool.
we definitely recommend getting at least a pasty or two while you're up here. They are tasty as heck, and a Yooper staple.
Lastly, perhaps my favorite thing that we did while we were here in the UP was to just stroll through the forest. The UP is covered in beautiful deciduous forest. Most of it is fairly young as forest goes, because much of it has been logged in the past. Regardless there is something about the shimmering sunlight coming down through the Beech and Birch trees that is just magical on a sunny afternoon. You almost expect to see a hobbit slipping silently away as you go up and down the hills and into gentle valleys. There is life everywhere under the golden green canopy of these woods, and for a nature lover, I couldn't get enough.
So there you have it, Nine things to do in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Did we leave something out? Let us know in the comments.

I grew up here. My grandparents owned a mom & pop resort down the street and this was the larger of the cottages that stayed with the family. Walk out to the beach with it's own hoist. Cook s'mores out by the campfire. Tell some stories. Wake up in the moring and go skiing. For you winter types we're only 20 minutes from Crystal Mountain Resort plus the Benzie Trail is closeby for snow mobiling access. Fix a pot of chili, rent some movies & sit by the fire. It doesn't get better than this. For more information call 1-800-539-1768 or go to rentalslakecumberland.com Now booking for winter 2012
