Boat Shuttles
A guide for the independent paddler.

Boat Shuttles*

Boat shuttles allow paddlers to access some of Lake Superior’s most remote areas in a safe, time-effective manner. Popular destinations for sea kayakers include Michipicoten Island and the Slate Islands. Whitewater canoeists and kayakers frequently hire boat pick-ups at the mouth of the Pukaskwa and Dog rivers to eliminate the long flatwater journey back to civilization. Most backpackers in Pukaskwa National Park employ a boat shuttle to access the Coastal Trail’s remote southern trailhead. Contact us if you need assistance.
