Cruising Guide

Introduction to Cruising Lake Superior

This webinar will take you from the Sault Locks at the lake's eastern end, west along the lake's Michigan and Wisconsin southern shores, up Minnesota's northwest lakeshore, and finally along Ontario's breathtaking north and east wilderness shores before closing the circle in Whitefish Bay and the Sault. Lake Superior may be vast, but when understood, it provides unique and breathtaking cruising, historic destinations, interesting ports of call, pristine waters and secluded sailing and anchorages. Updated for 2024 and presented by Dave Carr.

Note that this webinar is one of five webinars in the Lake Superior series. For those wishing to attend this live webinar along with the other four, check the specially priced "Cruising Lake Superior Package" to purchase and register for all five.
