S2 E13: Carl Hansen - Pictured Rocks Kayaker
Planning on kayaking in Lake Superior? Learn how to prepare for a safe and successful trip with kayaker Carl Hanson.
A Pictured Rocks kayak trip can include wild and rugged shoreline, forested islands and endless stretches of remote sandy beaches, luring newcomers as well as veteran paddlers to adventure. It ranks as one of the planet’s most magical places to sea kayak. Carl Hansen, the man who brought commercial kayaking to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore over three decades ago, is interviewed in this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast.
Hosts Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Carl about his extensive experience paddling not only his home shore in Munising, Michigan, but all around Lake Superior, including Isle Royale National Park as well as the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. For kayakers aiming to experience a “Superior Summer,” he has some tips on how to prepare and what to expect about a safe and successful trip on Big Blue.
