Kayak Tours Are Back At Glensheen Mansion
Now is your chance to see a whole different side of the grounds of Glensheen from Tischer Creek to the shore line of Lake Superior in a Kayak. This is the perfect activity to break up the monotony of the pandemic and practice safe social distancing.
Glensheen and the University of Minnesota Duluth have teamed up with Day Tripper of Duluth who handle and conduct all of the kayak tours. Tours are every Wednesday and Thursday evening(weather permitting of course) from 4:00-5:30pm and Saturday Mornings. Tours start at $45 per paddler and groups are 2 person minimum. The tour departs from the beach at Glensheen and children of all ages are welcome.
Day Tripper provides:
- Sea kayak, paddle, PFD
- Wetsuits, paddling jackets, gloves - depending on water temperature
- Kayaking instruction and tips
- Nature and history tour
- Small group to guide ratio
- Lunch option available for the 11a-1230p tour
Once you have all your equipment head out into the beautiful waters of Lake Superior right off the shore and see the mansion and grounds in a whole new way. Paddle up Tischer Creek right near the mansion and learn some more information about the estate and grounds. Make sure to keep your eyes open for some animals that like to call Glensheen home. Tickets for mansion and ground tours are sold separately.
