Kayak, Bike and Brew Tour

Traverse City is awesome. What better way to explore the lovely town than a “Kayak, Bike & Brew” Tour!
It was a great day with our guide Max, who was raised here and winters in Vail Colorado, and the aspiring young couple Connor and Katie, who are vacationing before commencing the Navy Pilot School in Pensacola Florida.
We visited four breweries in town, and got there via three different locomotive means (by foot, by bike, and by kayak).
Biked to one of the newest breweries and newest areas of town, the Lake District. 
Right Brain Brewery –   try the Blue Magic Lavender Ale and the Naughty Girl Stout Cookies!
Then, biked down to the lake waters and kayaked the river to –
Rare Bird Brewery – appetizers of beer cheese and pretzels were yummy as well as the adult beverages!
Hotel Indigo rooftop – we have a rooftop Hotel Indigo in Columbus Georgia, although this one beats it hands down. 
CHEERS! 🍻🍻🍻🍻.

 

 

 

 

Visit. Explore. Dream.


We found a beautiful city campground just 10 miles inland a from the Ferry at Scottville Riverside City Park to raise our glasses and make a toast that night to one of the most memorable travel days yet! 🥂.

Saving the turtles (even of the snapping kind adorned with pretty little algae) thanks in large part to another camper rolling in who just happened to have a baseball glove for scooping, biking around the grounds rewarded us with left-over Memorial Day firewood, saw columbine flowers and an unknown species of a large colorful frog (edit: identified later as a Northern Leopard Frog).

 

Spent a beautiful day on the Pere Marquette River via a 4 hour double kayak float. So peaceful and relaxing.
The River is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River and is a nationally renowned Blue Ribbon Trout Stream.
