Special "Experienced Paddlers Only" guided overnight trip with Lost Creek Adventures senior guides and ACA instructors. After last years event we had people interested in getting out and into the Apostle Islands on a more extended trip. This trip is being offered as a way to get into the islands with, ok let's admit it, faster paddlers. We'll travel further than the normal 'beginner' trip, see more of the islands, and be with our new symposium friends.
