George Nemeth · Kayaking Lake Erie
July 5th, 2008
From Mel:
41º North Kayak has a bunch of different tour packages — I chose the Cleveland Rocks! Sunset Tour. I have no kayak experience, but felt I was capable enough with my rafting skills… and that canoe thing I rented in Costa Maya. We left Wendy Park (on Whiskey Island) around 6 p.m., after quick safety instructions for a 5 nautical mile (3 hours) trip. The tour took us past the old Coast Guard Station, which our guide tells us there are plans (finally) to rebuild into shops and other touristy things. Did he say Towpath? Awesome. We continued from there over the Cuyahoga River, past the Browns Stadium, that Mather boat museum where I hit my head on something sticking out from an interior wall when I was a child and the Science Center. The best part was being able to kayak underneath — yes, UNDERNEATH the Rock Hall! There is a portion of the building goes into the water, you can paddle around it. Very, very cool. There was no wake in this area, so it was calm and peaceful to paddle around and admire the Cleveland skyline from a water perspective…

I see several problems with your kayak trip:
1. Can’t actually see the bottom of the lake.
2. The water is over 6 feet deep in unknown and unknowable spots.
3. There are live things swimming around (e.g., lamprey eels).
Other than those little problems, it sounds like a great excursion.

wow! love the part about going under the Rock Hall, this sounds fabulous. What a great way to celebrate Cleveland and Summer, George.

we took a 41 North trip out in the islands (can’t remember which one we left from?) but it was a great trip and I felt a great sense of accomplishment having kayaked for quite a few miles (some of it in open water). My only issue with kayaking in Lake Erie is the sense that the boaters are not exactly responsible — I worry I’m going to get run over by some drunken fool in a power boat. But that’s just me being paranoid maybe
