Typically around 2 hours including check-in, gear distribution, safety talk, and boat loading.

Experience Level:
Some kayaking experience is recommended as this tour goes out onto the open waters of the Detroit River.

Overview:
We’ll depart from Detroit River Sports and enjoy the sights and sounds of the water. We’ll spend most of our time learning about the history of the river and the Eastside Canals, visiting Greyhaven Island (wind and weather permitting) and the Historic Fisher Mansion along the way. We’ll finish with a quiet paddle through the canals in southern Jefferson Chalmers.
