Adventure Tips
Bring Weather-Appropriate Layers
Lake Michigan’s weather can shift quickly, so pack windbreakers or waterproof jackets especially in spring and fall.
Arrive Early to Maximize Fishing Time
Morning trips often provide calmer waters and better fish activity compared to afternoon outings.
Motion Sickness Prevention
If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking preventive medication as smaller boats feel lake swells more.
Bring a Camera with Zoom
Wildlife and scenic views are close but best captured with zoom lenses on your camera or phone.
