Lakeshore Adventures is a Door County outfitter based in Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, offering water-based rentals, guided charters, and specialty tours along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Operating from Ridges Road Beach and nearby launch points, Lakeshore Adventures provides standup paddleboard rentals (hourly and multi-day), single and tandem kayak rentals, pontoon boat rentals, and a 37' Power Cat for Lake Michigan charter fishing.
The company’s inventory includes single and tandem kayaks, clear-bottom kayaks used on the Shipwreck Tour, standup paddleboards, and a 21ft pontoon for customizable outings. Fishing charters aboard the 37' Power Cat target species such as Chinook salmon and lake trout and are crewed by trained guides. Safety equipment, including life jackets, is provided for all rentals and tours, with staff offering basic instruction and guidance.
Signature experiences include the Clear Bottom Kayak Shipwreck Tour—an approximately two-hour paddle over historic 1800s wreck sites and past a small island with an 1820s Bird Cage Lighthouse—and multi-day standup paddleboard and kayak rental packages launched from Ridges Road Beach. The zipline canopy tour provides a treetop experience across roughly 20 acres, including dual zip lines and a 150-foot suspension bridge with panoramic views of preserved land. The fleet also supports hourly rentals for quick excursions and full-day pontoon adventures that explore local shipwrecks and shoreline.
Lakeshore Adventures serves families, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels. Pontoon outings can be tailored for fishing, cruising, or beach time from Baileys Harbor. Reservations are recommended during peak seasons. Local knowledge of Door County waters and trained crews support safe outings and enjoyable experiences.
