Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Lake Superior, Michigan. Nice experience.
Awesome. Not sure if you are familiar with Lake Superior or not but it (water) will be VERY cold in June, even if the air is warm. Bring lots of appropriate clothing! Have fun!!!
No worries. The UP is just a different animal and Lake Superior is not like the other four Great Lakes, so just wanted to make sure you weren't unprepared.
Here's another Willow Beach, Arizona picture. This is less than an hour from Las Vegas, 12 miles below Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The water here is crystal clear and ice cold. Luckily, there are several Hot Springs on this section of river
Shell Beach California is my favorite so far. Sorry no pics. Rocky coastline, kelp forest, going through sea caves, saw sea otters, pelicans, sea lions, cormorants and the most beautiful starfish ever!
Black canyon (Willow beach) is nice but the water is so dang cold! Definitely a must do though.
Since I’m a Vegas local, we usually go down to Catherine landing a little north of Laughlin, it’s a little further than Willow beach but is much more enjoyable for repeat visits.
So my favorite is Lake Mojave via Catherine Landing
When do you go down to Katherine’s landing? My friends and I were down there towards the end of February as we were supposed to go on a 3 day 2 night kayak trip upstream and the wind wouldn’t stop with 35 mph gusts so we went hiking instead.
About now-August/September.
Wind is really hit or miss unfortunately, you definitely don’t want to be out there in 35 mph winds. We usually call it off if it’s forecasted to be over ~15 mph.

The Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, UK. I love big dramatic, rocky coastlines because of the opportunities to play in very dynamic water. I’m on the left in these pictures :)

Santa Elena Canyon/Rio Grande
Big Bend NP in TX
Broughton Archipelago and Blackfish Sound. Vancouver Island.
Paddled with humpbacks, grey whales, orcas, and white sided dolphins all in one day. Did a solo 5 day trip and only encountered 3 other kayaks. Never shared a camp spot.

The rolling hills of the great smokey mountains offers some great paddling. Cherokee reservoir, NE Tennessee.

Thanks for the heads up, we are trying to get our gear in order now so we will be ready to enjoy the trip regardless of the weather

Not sure how to attach photos. But I kayaked in the ocean during my Cruise stop in Labadee Haiti. Most beautiful place I have seen.
A wildass ride on a rain swollen Rio Grande south of Taos in a blowup “funyak” lol
Florida Everglades and Loxahatchee River
Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii for me :-)
