Kayaking the inland lakes of Leelanau is a delightful alternative to going out on the bigger waters.

There are about 40 named inland lakes in Leelanau County, with public accessibility enough for at least a kayak. In addition, there are three lakes on the two Manitou Islands: Lake Manitou and Tamarack Lake on North Manitou Island and Florence Lake on South Manitou Island.

The Leelanau Peninsula has three rivers that are suitable for kayaking — the Leland River, the Cedar River and the Crystal River. Rivers are a great alternative when conditions are too windy for paddling on more open waters.

LEELANAU BY KAYAK includes directions, maps, strategies, history and information on area rentals.
