Welcome!
We boat out of Charlevoix. Been all around GT bay, Leland and as far north as Harbor Springs so far on this boat. Love that area too! Hope to make it out to the islands this year. Had a trip to Beaver planned last summer but had to cancel because of weather.

I use Photobucket to host my pics. Just create an account, upload your pics and copy the links to the forum posts.


Thanks for the photo tip Jeff! Beaver is a great place if you haven't been before, lots to do nature wise. IT's a very peaceful and laid back place, not touristy like Mackinaw at all. People are very friendly lots of smaller islands to visit just be sure to watch your depth finder when venturing around the other islands :D P.S. Watch out for poison ivy if hiking on Squaw Island :lol:


Thanks for the tips.
Last time I was on Beaver was 20+ years ago. I'd like to visit Garden island harbor and high island as well. Maybe spend the night out there.


If you do make it up there this summer Jeff, be sure to check out the shipwreck Niko almost perfectly between Garden and Hog. She's a wooden steamer sunk in 1927? I think. It's easiest to come down from the north as you'll have deep water all the way up to the shoal she wrecked on. She sits in about 26 to 30 feet of water and can be clearly seen from the surface. Great snorkel or shallow dive. She's the first "real" wreck I ever dove. Been hooked ever since.

Awesome! Thanks. didn't know about that one. Hopefully we have some calm weather and can do some exploring with the inflateable while we are there.
