We have taken one day tours on the Minnesota North Shore of Lake Superior with Superior Coastal Sports (formerly Cascade Kayaks). Tours have included the Pigeon River, which is the shared US/Canada border, Split Rock Lighthouse State Park to see the lighthouse from lakeside, and Tettegouche State Park for the sea caves and grand view of Shovel Point.
There have also been day trips, one week and two weeks trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Yes, with kayaks! Portaging is sport by itself.
In past years members also attended half-day white water kayaking courses from the UMD Kayak and Canoe Institute. This was a brief introductory course taught on the St Louis River inside Jay Cooke State Park.
Some Outwooders are also members of the Inland Sea Kayakers, a chapter of the Minnesota Canoe Association, which both sponsor weekly Wednesday Night Rendezvous on Lake Calhoun from late May until late September, as well as many local river and Lake Superior trips.
