Fish Lake Michigan on a private charter from Baileys Harbor, with a crew that welcomes all ages and experience levels. Bring your fishing license and snacks, then reel in species like Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and Steelhead.
A 10% deposit is required at booking, and no-shows are charged the full price. Anyone 16+ who wants to reel in fish needs a Wisconsin fishing license and a Great Lakes Trout and Salmon stamp.
This booking is for the whole experience, which fits up to 6 guests.
Cancel at least 7 days before your reservation for a full refund. No refunds for cancellations within 7 days, unless Lakeshore Adventures deems the weather unsuitable.
If you’re 16 or older and want to reel in fish, bring a Wisconsin fishing license. If you already have a Wisconsin fishing license, you also need a Great Lakes Trout and Salmon stamp.
Pay a 10% deposit at booking. The remainder can be charged to your card after your charter. If you don’t show up, you’ll be charged the full price.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and glasses, plus a camera and anything you’d like to eat or drink. Wear warm clothing (pants and a jacket), even if it’s warm on land.

North Country Rivers has built a loyal following for good reason. Guides like Chris, Ben, Vito, Codi, Jason, and Allison come up repeatedly in reviews, and the praise is consistent across the board. First-timers especially appreciate how patient and reassuring the staff are from the moment you arrive, right down to spending nearly 40 minutes helping a group get properly fitted in wetsuits before hitting the water. The experience goes beyond just the rafting itself. There's a food buffet after trips, cabin accommodations for overnight stays, and a game room that younger guests love. Some groups have been returning annually for nearly a decade, which says a lot. The Kennebec and Dead River routes both get strong marks, and the Ultimate Turbine Trip with the high-volume release seems to be a crowd favorite for those chasing bigger thrills. If you're on the fence, the sheer number of multigenerational groups, scout troops, and first-timers who walk away raving should give you confidence. This is a well-run operation where safety is clearly prioritized without taking the fun out of the adventure.
I did the shipwreck clear bottom kayak tour and it was amazing! A bit rigorous since it's open water, but we clearly saw multiple shipwrecks! The tour guides were great, and it was an awesome experience.
