No experience is necessary and Red Cross-trained instruction is provided. We meet at the Garrett Bay Boat Launch in Ellison Bay. After an introductory lesson and a launch we go visit the Schooner Fleetwing shipwreck. From there we head over to the cliffs along Door Bluff County Park and search for the Native American Pictographs. After hearing a narrative from the guide about the drawings, we head for a view of the highest bluff in Door County from the water. Then we pull the kayaks up on shore and hike up to that viewpoint. The guide sets up a small charcuterie picnic to enjoy at the top of the bluff and we taste some local small batch items; Door County Goat Chevre, dried Door County Cherries, some pickled items and some crackers. Take some photos, search for some morels, then head back down to the kayaks to head back to the launch spot. An amazing tour with plenty of variety. Signup early, this one fills up quickly.
