• Kayak on Lake Superior and see the amazing sea caves
• Visit the beautiful Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
• Take a boat trip out to see the islands
• Hike to see the local waterfalls (need handout map)
• Join in the fly-out and see the beautiful Lake Superior Shoreline from the air

Event RSVP

We have had fantastic interest in this event and are closing registration as of 4/29/2019, as we have reached our limit of 20 airplanes.  While we would love to accommodate more planes, it is a small airstrip and we just don’t have the room to park any more.  Our hope is to clear some brush in the next year and be able to accommodate more planes at the next event.
