1. 5.0 Port Austin Kayak (78 reviews)
   - Great staff—thoughtful and helpful!
   Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Gear Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
   
   
   This is just a great company. They have a Twitter feed for you to check weather conditions. We had originally scheduled for Saturday over 4th of July weekend. The Twitter feed said it might be a little rough, and we were debating since we had two 12 year olds and a 13 year old all with their own kayak. (No tandem kayaks for Turnip Rock trip.) While we were thinking about it, I got a text saying that if you were a beginner, you probably shouldn’t go out that day. I called, they canceled and helped us get rescheduled on Sunday. Because it was a holiday weekend, I couldn’t get all 6 of us rescheduled at the same time. But they said not to worry about that. When we showed up, even though our bookings were 30 minutes apart, they let us all go out at the early time. The guys down at the dock were helpful and gave us a quick little paddling lesson. Overall just a really positive experience with helpful staff. See more..
   
2. 5.0 Fish Factory Sportfishing (19 reviews)
   - A good time fishing with friends on lake Huron
   Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   I went to catch a good size fish, my first catch was a good size lake trout which set off the early morning very well(and a little tired reeling it in). Our group of four continued to catch a variety (lake trout, steelhead trout a coho salmon,a pink salmon and a walleye) over the next five hours!. The captain Herm and first mate Chris were quick to get the pole in our hands and inform us what to do to assure the best chance of getting these fish on board and in the cooler!. A very enjoyable fishing experience! See more..

The lake and weather were beautiful and we caught a lot of fish (14 between 4 of us!) Salmon, Steelhead, Lake trout, and Walleye. This was my wife and my fist experience and it was great.
