Big Water Paddle Co.

BWP Co. had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with the Wildman Adventure Resort team this week. Such a cool way to do some team building and say goodbye to those leaving for the season.

Our team personally recommends Wildman Adventure Resort as a Midwest must-do. If you didn't know you could white-water raft this far north, you're in for a treat!

Miles did it again!

"Pick these guys! We had an awesome paddle during the Golden Hour trip—the weather and the water were fantastic, as was Miles. He was very competent, easygoing and he and his partners seem to be very hard workers. So glad we decided to book with them!" - Mandy

"We had the time of our lives! We felt cared for from the minute we walked in the door. B$ is knowledgeable, fun to be around, and how does he remember everyone’s names like that??? His Dad jokes and stories are a perfectly timed comedy routine.

If you haven’t kayaked Pictured Rocks, you haven’t REALLY seen them!

We highly recommend Big Water Paddle Company!" - Larry

Thanks, Larry!

We have opened more space on todays 6:00 pm sunset as it's an ideal day on the big lake.

There is no bad time of day to paddle Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, but it's hard to beat the sunset. Book our Golden Hour trip while you're in Munising to see the cliffs at their most stunning!

We are so proud of the reviews our guides have been receiving. Here are just a few reasons why Big Water Paddle Co. is the best choice for your next adventure!

"We had a great time out on the lake with Big Water Paddle Co. Miles was the perfect guide for my girlfriend and me, on a perfectly peaceful lake morning, 3-hour paddle along the Pictured Rocks. Miles brought warmth, humor and enthusiasm for the ecology of the area, as well as the sense of safety and skill with the kayaks out on the water. Overall, Big Water Paddle Co. offers quality customer service and close attention to details that made our experience a 10/10! Thanks!"

"A truly wonderful trip for 3 adults and one 12-year-old! The guide was so attentive and knowledgeable, and we all felt safe and confident and saw amazing vistas of the pictured rocks"

"Was an amazing time! Great stories and a really great explanation of all of the amazing scenery. Loved it! Highly recommend!"

Thank you to everyone who has left a review!

Reviews like this make entrepreneurship totally worth it.

"This was the most amazing experience. Everyone at Big Water Paddle Co. was so wonderful. When we arrived, they got us all checked in and got us set up with everything we needed. Our guide, Miles, was so helpful and shared so much information about the beautiful views and explained the geology and formations of this beautiful space. He was very welcoming. We even kayaked over a shipwreck. Everything exceeded our expectations, and the 3-hour trip fit perfectly into our plans while we were in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore area. I had never really kayaked, and Big Water Paddle Co. made it easy. This has been the highlight of our week-long trip." ~ Missy from Iowa
