Join me on an unforgettable solo kayak camping adventure as I paddle through the Michigan wilderness on the stunning Pere Marquette and set up camps along its secluded shorelines. Located on Michigan’s western coast, this wild and scenic river offers breathtaking views, crystal clear water and an abundance of wildlife and fish. From tranquil stretches to fast class 1 rapids, I’ll take you through every twist and turn of this unforgettable journey. Get ready for stunning scenery, thrilling kayaking, and mouth-watering campfire cooking that will leave you inspired to plan your own wilderness adventure. #kayakfishing #camping #river
