The Lake Superior

Lake Superior is famous for three main things, it is the largest body of freshwater in the world by surface area, it has brilliant hunting and fishing opportunities and the weather conditions can often be brutal. Explore it by boat, kayak, canoe or by foot but remember Misshepezhieu (the local water spirit) must always be respected or disaster can and will strike. If you are venturing out in to the wilds an experienced guide is a must - of course on board the Lake Superior you won’t need to worry about wrathful spirits, bad weather or getting lost you can just sit back and relax!
